Mr. Speaker, I can say that I have first-hand knowledge of fishing down the Fraser and Harrison rivers. I caught a lot of sturgeon there back in the day. I talked to those fishermen and I really did not hear any negativity about the government's legislation. It is a sturgeon fishery. We catch them, and it is catch and release. In my experience, there was nothing but content with the way the general policy was done. I do not know what this member is alluding to, but from my experience with the fishermen on the west coast, the reasonableness test that we introduced was not opposed by the people in B.C.
