I'm mindful of Jody Wilson-Raybould's comments when she was BCAFN regional chief. She often spoke about the work that first nations have to do on their side of the table in their governance and agreements with one another.
I can tell you, Mr. Arnold, that there are discussions across B.C. going on right now about revisiting an inter-first nations fisheries treaty. They began in the 1980s. We've found some resourcing to facilitate that dialogue across the province so we can start to have discussions and do the work on our side of the table as first nations to have an understanding of our interdependencies with one another about salmon.
When I see this coming forward, I think it is useful, because then the government can sit down and have a substantive discussion about salmon writ large across the province with first nations at a political level. The misuse of AAROM bodies is securing it down to a technical table.
