## Resource

The Nova Scotia Supreme Court just threw out a legal challenge by the Unified Fisheries Conservation Alliance, ruling they lack standing to question the Sipekne’katik First Nation’s treaty rights to commercially fish lobster in St. Mary’s Bay. The court called the claim “fatally flawed,” emphasizing that treaty rights under the Peace and Friendship Treaties allow Sipekne’katik to fish without commercial licenses or seasonal restrictions — and that it’s up to them, not outside groups, to negotiate those rights with Canada. The dismissal underscores that reconciliation isn’t about litigation, especially when no direct harm was caused by legislation.
