If they were going to include a new entrant in this fishery, it is obvious that at that time their concern for the people of Grand Bank had somehow been forgotten, because that decision would have had exactly the same consequences they are now exaggerating for the people of Grand Bank. What they forgot to do in that process was include indigenous communities, and we are proud to have done so. That is why we are proud of this decision.</p>",

Voil\u00e0 qui prouve qu'\u00e0 l'\u00e9poque, ils ne se souciaient gu\u00e8re de la population de Grand Bank, car cette d\u00e9cision aurait alors eu exactement les m\u00eames cons\u00e9quences pour elle que celles qu'ils d\u00e9crivent maintenant \u00e0 grands coups d'exag\u00e9rations. Par contre, ils ont oubli\u00e9 de tenir compte des communaut\u00e9s autochtones. Nous les avons consult\u00e9es, nous, et nous sommes fiers de l'avoir fait. Voil\u00e0 pourquoi nous sommes fiers de cette d\u00e9cision.</p>"
