Concerning what I was saying about Quebec and the number of tags, I was kind of caught in the middle in representing an interprovincial watershed. We received an announcement from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans for the New Brunswick side of the watershed to implement a full live release of all fish and using a single barbless hook, whereas just after that Quebec announced they would maintain the status quo of seven tags per licence, which can be placed on large salmon or grilse. There's a big difference on the two sides of the river. There is not yet harmonization on the boundary waters, but still this year the New Brunswick river anglers will be asked to put all fish back into the water, while in Quebec they will be allowed to keep seven large salmon. It's a big difference.
As I said, Quebec was probably willing to reduce the number of tags per licence, but because of that 1922 agreement with Canada, they were not able to work solely on this reduction. That's why the Province of Quebec was not able to reduce the number of tags. There needs to be a priority discussion between the federal government and the Province of Quebec to discuss how tag reduction could be implemented for Quebec licence-holders for 2016.
