Last year, when there was this incredible abundance that came back.... I believe it was the highest on record for that brood stock cycle. We understand that there are different brood stock cycle years, but this was incredibly high for that brood stock cycle year. It was a record number, yet when the U.S. panel members on the Pacific Salmon Commission were recommending an opening, the Canadians were opposed and did not provide any rationale for opposing it.
Why was it that the Canadian side didn't provide any rationale for not supporting the opening of the fishery?
