Page I SECTION THE HERALD Wednesday February Ontario Outdoors BOB Minister writes Ice conditions are bad even on Lake And whether or not we will get any further treezing certatnly beyond my knowledge However I believe we may get a bad weather spelt In March as that la not on uncommon It la probably too late for good Ice to form anywhere in the province now The sap Is running and the conservation author ties will soon be starting their maple syrup programs which I will try to hat here next week The Native Fishing Agreement has been causing a lot of interest lately In order to give the Ministry of Natural Resources position I am Including a letter I received from the Honourable Alan Pope Minister of Natural Resources Dear Mr OUivler Fishing Agreement I am sorry there has been so much confusion Indeed anger over the signing of this agreement I can assure you It Is not the intent of this Ministry to hinder or Infringe on the rights of the people of Ontario The Native Fishing Agreement was negotlst ed In response to and in order to resolve a continuing confrontation about access to the fisheries resource Native peoples are not being given carte blanche control of the resource nor Is the Government relinquishing Its authority In fact this agreement mark the first time the Indian people have recognized the role of Government in managing what they perceive an aboriginal right I am aware that some aspects of the agreement have become highly contentious There has also been some criticism about the question of public consultation It should be painted out however that this Is an agreement of intent public input negotiations and law making are yet to come There are articles in the agreement Of these Articles 3 and a dealing with harvest fishing and the creation of rones are the most controvert si and least understood Article 3 provides a legal mechanism for both legally recognizing and controlling the practice of Native harvest fishing The Minister of Natural Resources will have the authority to limit and control harvest fishing authority will be stated In and made enforceable by the Ontario Fishery Regulations and the Federal Fisheries Act Article provides for the establishment of zones to protect the traditional interests of the Indian people Specific designations will be made only when the agreement has been ratified by the Federal Government and only after full discussion among all interested groups To ensure that all Interests are taken Into consideration I propose to establish Regional and Provincial advisory committees once the agree ment has been signed by the Federal Government Representatives of the Northern Ontario Tourist Outfitters Association the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters the Chambers of Commerce Municipal organisations and the Indian Band Councils will be asked to sit on these committees An Indian band must moke application for a specific waterbody to be toned After preliminary review by ray Ministry the application will be referred to a Regional committee with members of concerned interest groups who will be asked to consider and offer advice on by laws zoning allocations and harvest limitations Itwillthengoto the Provincial committee for their Input Finally I shall review the application with the Cabinet considering the advice from the different committees The agreement will have minimal Impact if any on sports or commercial fishing in areas of nonIndian use including Lake Lake the North Channel Manltoulln Island and the Lake of the Woods Initially 20 Indian Conservation Officers will be hired to Improve communications and to Involve the Indian people In resource management These Conservation Officers will have the same powers and complete the same training as all Ministry conservation officers They wilt be supervised by the Ministry and located in Ministry Offices More than anything the agreement provides a mechanism to recognize in a legal sense the opportunity of Ontario Native people to fish for personal consumption as well providing the Government with a method to control legally such activities There are many benefits not least of which will be an overall Improvement In the Government ability manage the fishery In a way that recognizes conservation and the concerns of all user groups E feel this agreement Is of paramount Importance In the management of our fisheries resource will result In better fisheries management and ultimately will create a positive relationship between the Indian people and the user groups I am enclosing a recent statement I made to the Legislature together with other details about the Native Fishing Agreement AlonW Pope Georgetown bowlers to compete at provincial finals Georgetown youth bowlers laat weekend
