That is why it insists on extinguishment, even though the United Nations has condemned Canada's use of extinguishment against aboriginal peoples as a violation of Canada's obligations under international law of human rights. Canada can not pass the buck to the provinces as it likes to do, and say that the provinces has resource jurisdication, because these are clearly federal responsibilities - treaty rights of First Nations and federal fisheries. So Canada has turned to the excuse of conversation. Canadians need to understand just how dishonest their government has been on the subject of conversation. Canada intnetionally and falsely told Canadians that the First Nations are destroying the lobster fishery.
Conservation is an embarrassment for Canada.
The DFO is famous world over for its failure to protect the cod fishery until it was too late. It is also famous for political interference standing in place of legal responsibility. Canada is a very poor and incompetent guardian of the environment and its natural resources. We need only look at the sad conditionof Canadian forests and rivers to find out about conservation. The fact is that there are about 3 million DFO officially sancitioned lobster traps in the water in the Atlantic Fishery.
