Thank you, Chief Frost.

I have a couple of questions for Mr. Gerberding.

I heard you mention that you were once a gillnet fisherman on the Yukon River. What do you think the effect of netting a river could be?

I'm from Newfoundland. It's unheard of to net a river in Atlantic Canada. It's just not done. What do you think the effect of gillnetting that river has been over the years? If the salmon returned, would you return to gillnetting?
