I'll try to be brief.
I have a lot of DFO colleagues who have a genuine interest in protecting salmon, so I'll start with that. However, I think the structures that I shared with you have been not very conducive to protecting salmon. I'm talking about the integrated fisheries management plans. I'm talking about the Pacific Salmon Treaty. These are mostly processes and structures that are all about harvest and all about socio-economics. It's pretty hard to protect and conserve salmon when the main focus is on socio-economics in harvest.
What else would I say about that?
Frankly, as I mentioned in some of my comments, first nations have not been privileged to have decision-making authority in these processes. Maybe with the United Nations' declaration, this would be a provision to advance our opportunity to have those rights and be decision-makers with the Province of B.C. and the federal government.
