Mr. Speaker, as the first Acadian to assume your role, on behalf of all Nova Scotians, let me congratulate you. Recently a Nova Scotia indigenous fishing captain was lost at sea, leaving his uncertified crew stranded. The winter lobster season opens this Monday in southwestern Nova Scotia. DFO officials has confirmed that newly licensed moderate livelihood fishers are not required to have their vessels or crew government trained and certified like all commercial fishermen have to. Why is the government so callously placing the lives of indigenous fishers at risk?
