Key Findings
Eight in ten (80%) agree that representatives from non-Indigenous fishers should be included in any consultations or negotiations between government and Indigenous leaders around changes to fisheries management.
Three-quarters (73%) agree that the established commercial fishing seasons and regulations should be enforced for everyone, including Indigenous and non-Indigenous fishers.
Seven in ten (69%) agree that there should be one set of integrated rules for all Indigenous and non-Indigenous fish harvesters, established by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada.
