The Fraser River has five species of Pacific salmon that spawn in it, and a number of non-salmon species. Those fish are present in the river, migrating downstream, after March 15. So even if you were to only remove gravel every other year, you would still have a problem of other salmon species being present. It's not just pink salmon. It's a very complex system.
All of these were taken into consideration when the science was done by scientists and others leading up to this framework I spoke of. What we need to do now is to take from this committee and from the community what it is that we can learn from the experience of 2006 that recognizes that the Fraser River is a complex environment. It's not one species we're dealing with; it's many species. We have strong interests to remove gravel and at the same time to preserve salmon. So what we need to do is to learn from this. It may well be that the answer is that you don't remove it at certain sites in even years, as you've suggested, but that at other sites it's fine.
It may end up being more complicated, but in the end I think that's what we have to learn from this, and that's what we intend to do.
