Thank you for your question.
There was a time when DFO provided some resourcing to first nations through the aboriginal fisheries strategy to do things such as stream remediation and habitat work, but this has sadly diminished. It's not available much anymore. This is one of those things for which cutbacks have occurred that have kept first nations from being able to move forward.
I can tell you about one example in our territory. We have a spawning channel in Kakweiken, or what people like to refer to as Thompson Sound. It was horribly designed at the outset, but there are no resources for redesigning the intake for the water there. It would be a significant contributor to the salmon in our territories, but the resources have all but disappeared during the previous government's term.
