We are locked into this unfortunate circumstance in which we've had half our fishery taken away in order to protect interior Fraser steelhead, even though, in the group that I participated in, we had caught something like only 40 of them there over the last little while. It has basically decimated half our livelihood there.

Yes, it's a mixed message. Yes, she cares, but she balances it against other things.
