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  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 thin

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

Fisheries committee  That's correct.

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

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 particip

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 la

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.

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  I would say they would be close. The problem we have in the Yukon is that our normal lakes are very non-productive in terms of the fact that our fish reach maturity for spawning when they are very old as compared to the southern provinces. Within the Yukon there are very elderly,

Fisheries committee  Yes, it's the cold waters and there just isn't a great abundance of other foods within the lake for them.
