Thank you, MP Hanley.
There are a number of possible initiatives. I believe that the Yukon government and my ministry does want to occupy the field in a more significant manner.
I do have some examples of where we're going. The Department of Environment supports the idea of a Yukon-based conservation hatchery, and we are continuing discussions with Fisheries and Oceans Canada and Yukon first nations to provide support when called upon.
Department of Environment staff have met with the Kwanlin Dun First Nation, which is the largest first nation in the Yukon and is largely an urban Whitehorse first nation. We met on September 11, 2023, in order to discuss how the department can support the development of the new Kwanlin Dun First Nation salmon stewardship centre, which will include a Kwanlin Dun First Nation-led conservation hatchery feasibility study. We will continue to work with Kwanlin Dun First Nation to support this project and look forward to the next steps as well.
