Fisheries committee  Sorry, but you had some earlier questions and I think I got sidetracked here and missed a couple.

Fisheries committee  I would say, yes, there's always that potential. Goldfish are the classic example of fish that can get into a system. They're so hardy that we could have a problem. We don't believe we have one just yet, but that doesn't mean to say we're aware of everything that goes on up here.

Fisheries committee  It would all be administered by the department of environment within the Yukon government.

Fisheries committee  To me that is a very good use of our people. It has been extremely positive. At the first couple of meetings, we were all struggling to get things together, but in the last two or three meetings, there have been very positive steps forward in terms of actually accomplishing things as a group.

Fisheries committee  Right now we have somewhere between 900 and 1,000.

Fisheries committee  That's correct.

Fisheries committee  Yes, we have an excellent relationship with them. They have a lot of great people involved in their department. My hat is off to them in terms of the time and effort they put into it. They certainly go beyond what would normally be expected of workers.

Fisheries committee  Not at all. I know it contributes a lot. I probably should have had my facts together before I came here, but I didn't.

Fisheries committee  To me, I don't know whether you'd call it the easiest.... I just see it as a very functional way to get people involved, be it kids or be it adults. I sign up as a host to take out some young kid who maybe has no other opportunity to get out—you know, parents who don't participate—or an adult who has never grown up participating in the fishery and they maybe need a little help in terms of how in the heck you go about this industry.

Fisheries committee  That's right. I believe that's a good option.

Fisheries committee  Twice a year we have two days when we invite parents to bring their children out. One place is Wolf Creek and the other is one of the stocked lakes. We provide all the equipment for parents who may have a little child who is interested in either putting the fish into a stocked lake, or in the case of Wolf Creek, putting salmon back into the creek.

Fisheries committee  No, there are various catch limits. Depending on the lakes there are slot limits in terms of the various sizes you are allowed to keep or not keep. There are lakes that are single hook only, barbless hooks. There are quite a variety of different methods being used to try to keep what I'll call a non-stocked lake as viable as possible.

Fisheries committee  It's $15 a year for a resident and it's $25 a year for a non-resident, so it's pretty cheap.

Fisheries committee  It can be a bit of a problem, but I don't think it's a major one for us, as compared to some of the other areas of Canada.

Fisheries committee  The territorial government looks after enforcement in the stocked lakes area. DFO has enforcement on the Yukon River that is associated with anadromous species, but it's mainly the territorial government that has the responsibility for these lakes.
