Since 2015, essentially, the fisheries have become—on the west coast anyway, especially the public fishery—a pawn in the reconciliation game, if you will. We give up a lot of what...more restrictions for one user group. In certain places, the FSC fisheries have priority over us, which is absolutely fair, as do commercial indigenous fisheries.
I wish DFO would listen more to all stakeholders because this affects livelihoods and everyone on the coast's ability to go out and fish.
