In addition to the millions paid by DFO to buyback commercial licenses owned by Nuu-chah-nulth fishermen, DFO gave the Nuu-chah-nulth an additional $20 million to spend on their food fishery and it also bought and transferred millions of dollars worth of salmon, crab, halibut and other licences to the Nuu-chah-nulth. Many of these licences are leased out and a number of Nuu-chah-nulth fishermen also lease out their licences including halibut quota. Here is part of the discussion in the ruling on this point:
It was pointed out#133; in cross-examination that the Nuu-chah-nulth do have 25 communal commercial licences, some of which are leased to non-Nuu-chah-nulth fishers. He responded that some of them are not being fished because of the current poor state of the salmon fishery and some are not fished because there are no fishers with suitable vessels who can afford to fish. (para. 660)
I dont understand why the Nuu-chah-nulth didnt use the 20 million to buy suitable vesseels to fish with?
Is this the next issue for the treaty? Am I missing something here or are these not facts?
You might be a tad light on your 20 million figure? This is what they have been paid since 4/01/2006. It could be closer to $116,182,944.00. Total population for the 14 nations in the Nuuchahnulth Tribal is 8,147 according to the Nuuchahnulth tribal council Indian registry from February 2006. That only equates to $14,260.82 each?
