(CBC) Nova Scotia Mi'kmaw chiefs reacted in unified opposition Thursday to conditions set this week by the federal government for an Indigenous moderate livelihood fishery. They say the terms required for Fisheries and Oceans authorization were imposed without adequate consultation or scientific justification. "Our nation is shocked by what the minister said. For them to make a unilateral decision without consultation was extremely shocking," said Chief Gerald Toney, of the Annapolis Band, at a virtual news conference. "We are frustrated. All 13 communities are very disappointed with what has taken place," said Chief Sidney Peters, of Glooscap First Nation.
