Marshall and R. v. Sparrow Supreme Court decisions, well-organized recreational fishing NGOs based in New Brunswick have sought to safeguard the cherished pastime of Atlantic salmon fly fishing through the promotion of a philosophy of conservation which allows for substantial recreational fishing which is not hook-and-release. This research uses a re-scaled version of Herman and Chomsky's Propaganda Model to explore journalistic approaches to the interests of these organizations and to emerging Native rights to salmon in the Miramichi River. The research sample spans 1996-2008 and focuses principally on in the flagship newspaper of New Brunswick's Irving media monopoly: The Telegraph-Journal. The newspaper's journalistic and editorial approaches are considered for how they relate, and potentially allow the NGOs to better relate, to Fisheries and Oceans Canada's bureaucracy.

The decade began with the Supreme Court of Canada's affirmation of ceremonial and food fisheries as an inherent or Aboriginal right by the 1990 R v. Sparrow decision, and concluded with the 1999 R v. Marshall decision's affirmation of a treaty right to fish commercially for the province's Mi'kmaq' and Maliseet peoples.1 The highly regulated fishing industry which had long excluded Natives shifted dramatically in a single decade. In 1998, consultant and Mi'kmaq' Native rights activist Noah Augustine spoke to the euphoria of the recognition of Natives' rights to resources in New Brunswick. He called it: 1 . This research frequently refers to two separate (but related) Marshall decisions. Both of these decisions involve Donald Marshall Jr.'s 1993 arrest for the commercial sale of eels. The first is the R v. Marshall (No. 1) decision which affirmed commercial fishing rights as a treaty right for Mi'kmaq' and Maliseet people on September 17, 1999. The second Marshall decision is the result of a request to rehear the first decision by the West Nova Fishermen's Coalition. This request was denied by the Supreme Court, but it chose at that time to issue the R v. Marshall (No. 2) decision. That decision clarified that the rights affirmed by the Marshall I decision were subject to limitation by conservation and public safety. 2 the greatest opportunity and most excitement I have ever seen in Native communities (...) This is the first real significant opportunity for Native people to earn a respectable living, provide for their families, and contribute to society and feel that independence. It's an amazing thing - — it's almost like a revolution in a way. Rossiter and Wood have noted that "specific claims are not only rooted in history, but are often the product of generations of continuous struggle to find resolution." In considering the rights affirmed by the Sparrow and Marshall decisions for Natives in New Brunswick however, it is not entirely clear that the apparent success that the specific claim achieved in the legal system has resulted in the full resolution of the claim. The Supreme Court used the Badger test in 1990's Sparrow decision.4 It is a test which also applies to the Marshall decisions. This legal test sought to ensure the prioritization of the access afforded by Aboriginal and treaty rights above all other types of access. In theory, the affirmed rights should be subordinate only to public safety and conservation. The order of prioritization that the Badger test enumerates is very clear, but whether this prioritization has been fully actualized in fisheries regulation is less so. There have been numerous confrontations between the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans 2. The New Brunswick Telegraph-Journal, "Natives exploit new law of the land," February 7, 1998. 3. David Rossiter and Patricia Wood, "Fantastic Topographies," The Canadian Geographer, 49(4), (2005): 356. 4. R. v. Marshall (No. 2), Paragraph 32, Supreme Court Recorder 533, November 17 1999 http://csc.lexum.umontreal.ca/en/1999/1999rcs3-533/1999rcs3-533.html. 3 (DFO) and Natives exercising their rights to fish since the decisions were made. Some of these conflicts have surrounded the exercise of the subsistence and ceremonial fishing rights which the Sparrow decision affirmed. As these confrontations occurred, a sizeable non-Native recreational fishery continued. It is not a hook and release fishery and the DFO estimates that it takes tens of thousands of fish from the river annually.6 It has not in any way been scaled back in order to accommodate the Native treaty rights affirmed by the Marshall decision. This seems to contradict the Badger test's assertion that "the brunt of conservation measures would be borne by the practices of sport fishing and commercial fishing."7 The DFO is the main body responsible for the public policy application of these decisions. In formulating adapted new policies it could conceivably fail to fully incorporate affirmed Native rights. An unconstitutional policy could be challenged in court, but that is not to say that it could not first be enacted. This could occur in part because of different approaches to balancing interests in the realms of law and public policy. To achieve this balance, the legal realm relies heavily on experts. For example, 5. Canadian Broadcasting Corporation online news, "Elsipogtog Man Charged in Spat with DFO Agents," www.cbc.ca/canada/new-brunswick/story/2009/11/11/nb-elsipogtog- fishing-charges-542. html. 6. Fisheries and Oceans Canada, "Five-year (2008-2012) Integrated Management Plan for Gulf Region Atlantic Salmon Stocks," www.glf.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/fam- gpa/plans/ifmp_saumon-salmon-e.pdf, 12. 7. R. v. Marshall (No. 2), Paragraph 32, Supreme Court Recorder 533, November 17 1999 http://csc.lexum.umontreal.ca/en/1999/1999rcs3-533/1999rcs3-533.html. 4 the Marshall case used testimony from only three witnesses, all historians with expertise concerning 18 century Nova Scotia. The formulation of public policy is very different from the legal system in this respect. Public policy is presumed not to exist in a vacuum of expert knowledge isolated from a societal context. Instead, its makers consider contemporary public opinion in setting the strategies for policy implementation. For its purposes, the DFO hires polling firms such as Environics and Ipsos-Reid to conduct public opinion research into fisheries issues and produce reports about their findings.

I am grateful for the magnitude of your support and I am truly proud of your dedication to supporting our University. UNB has a great story to tell – we are Canada’s first English-language university and one of the nation’s top comprehensive universities. Our outstanding faculty, award-winning entrepreneurship programs, national-calibre athletics teams and state-of-the-art facilities draw students from across Canada and around the globe. The It Begins Here campaign has helped build on these strengths. A large part of our success is due to the hard work of the campaign co-chairs and the campaign cabinet.

  • Salmon Letter Cains
    NW Miramichi LSW Miramichi THE MIRAMICHI SALMON ASSOCIATION INC. Renous SW Miramichi Salmon Letter Cains Volume 16, Issue 1 Celebrating 58 years on the Miramichi July 2011 A Look at Miramichi Salmon Numbers for 2010 by Mark Hambrook In early May this year, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) released to the Miramichi Watershed Management Committee the 2010 salmon numbers for the Miramichi River. The numbers reflect what most people suspected – that the grilse numbers were quite high in 2010 and the large salmon numbers were down a little from the previous year, but not as bad as expected. The Miramichi River had 50,000 grilse and 17,000 large salmon returning in 2010, which represents about 80% of the overall conservation target. The Southwest Miramichi comprises about 2/3 of the watershed, while the Northwest Miramichi represents the remainder. When we look at the numbers for each branch, the Southwest Miramichi had 32,000 grilse and 13,000 large salmon, representing 92% of the conservation target after removals; the Northwest Miramichi had 18,000 grilse and 4,000 large salmon, representing 53% of the target after removals. The prediction for 2010 had the Northwest at only 25% of the target and the Southwest at 50%, so why the difference? The model that DFO uses to predict the number of salmon returning is based on a statistical relationship between the number of grilse returning in a year and the number of large salmon returning the following year. This ratio means roughly two grilse in a given year results in one large salmon the following year.
