Madam Chair, the time for delay is over. There can be no more procrastination.
Washington state selectively marks 100% of its hatchery salmon, providing ample opportunities for American sport fishers to catch and keep marked hatchery salmon. However, here in southern B.C., the minister has failed to implement mass marking of hatchery fish and instead shut down the whole chinook fishery.
Why will the minister not do for Canadian anglers what the Americans are doing for theirs?
