Moncton, N.B. -- The federal fisheries minister told frustrated non-native fishermen in New Brunswick yesterday that he prefers training aboriginal fishermen to spending more on enforcement.

During a speech to about 200 fishermen gathered for the annual meeting of the Maritime Fishermen's Union in Moncton, Herb Dhaliwal also said that he's confident his chief negotiator will succeed in signing new fishing deals with Mi'kmaq and Maliseet bands in Atlantic Canada. { au: dt: 02/12/01 sc: gm}
