I think that with regard to proposed section 6.1—I mean, it's an instance and it's not specific to indigenous communities—if you think of B.C. groundfish, where you have mixed stocks, a mixed stock fishery, they're primarily targeting species such as ocean perch, but what you're catching is bycatch rockfish. That would be an example where for the sake of the rockfish you might invoke an exception, because that stock is in not the healthy zone but the “cautious” zone, and the economic or cultural impacts of invoking the requirement for that species would have large socio-economic impacts, because you'd have to limit the B.C. groundfish fishery.
