The federal government granted an Indigenous band the legal right to communally fish for salmon in the mouth of the Fraser River for a period of $24$ hours and to sell their catch a group of commercial 

non$-$Indigenous fishers were precluded from rising the same area during this $24$ hour period. This second group

staged a protest, fished for salmon in the prohibited area, and were charged and convicted with fishing at a prohibited time. Their defence was that the communal fishing licence discriminated against them based on race. The Supreme Court ruled that the communal fishing license was constitutional as a proactive attempt to remedy historically disadvantage and upheld the conviction.
