I think the problem is that we have a lot of first nations here. We have 204 first nations, many jurisdictions and over 150 first nations fisheries organizations. I think the reason that there are many of these jurisdictions is to assert our rights and to have an interest, especially with court cases like Sparrow, Guerin and Ahousaht. There are many court cases that set precedents.
I think the problem is that there isn't enough room for co-management and co-jurisdiction to address some of these issues. Implementing first nations law is really important in addressing some of these issues in regard to what is known as “illegal fishing”. Perhaps there's a different way to address those issues. This comes back to the United Nations declaration act. If there are no treaty agreements or constructive arrangements, then we need to fully address this issue. This has been an ongoing issue for, literally, decades. Many first nations out here and, perhaps, elsewhere in this country, are seeking co-management jurisdiction where we can come to some sort of agreement.
