The report discusses several themes and presents 10 recommendations on various topics. The report first explores the origins of the rights-based fisheries affirmed in the Marshall decision and puts them into context. These rights-based fisheries affect 35 Mi’kmaq, Wolastoqiyik and Peskotomuhkati First Nations in New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, and the Gaspé Region of Quebec. The report then outlines the ways in which the Government of Canada reacted to the Marshall decision and describes the policy-based response it had, as well as discusses the more recent short-term agreements that have been reached with certain First Nations. The report outlines that although the Government of Canada acknowledges that rights-based fisheries should be given priority over privilege-based fisheries, this is not put into practice by Fisheries and Oceans Canada. Overall, the committee concluded that the Government of Canada has not implemented these rights-based fisheries and proposes a three-step plan to move forward with their full implementation
