Yes. My experience is that the department keeps on pushing back and pointing to the treaty as the place to have these discussions, and that is a problem, because the problem we're discussing here is with Alaska. Alaska has an effective veto over any decisions that might affect its fishery.
In terms of the context of the treaty, the treaty not only affects northern B.C., but of course our recreational fisheries are driven by the outcome of the treaty, as is our Fraser River sockeye management. You can't push and can't do too much within the context of the treaty to address specific north coast issues, and that has been a challenge. I think we have to look at solutions beyond that of trying to find an answer within the context of the treaty and overcoming Alaska's effective veto.
