Fisheries committee  There's no quick answer. I can provide a written answer. I sit on an advisory board not as a licence holder, but that's not often the case. It's a very complex answer. I'm sorry.

Fisheries committee  I would almost ask the question back to the room, if it's permissible. The active harvesters don't have the tools to dictate those advisory boards or management plans. If it it were permissible, how would we bring it in? I don't know. Everything sounds good, but how do we actuall

Fisheries committee  I fish four fisheries a year. My primary fishery this year, since it's okay this year, is Dungeness crab, but I fish in salmon, halibut, both spot prawns and Dungeness crab, and herring.

Fisheries committee  If I could, how about if I try to answer both questions at the same time, Ken's and yours? I don't think it's fair that one person owns the entire fishery, and I also don't think it's fair that you reallocate it in the way that it was. The fact that they got to that point.... I

Fisheries committee  I've slept about 20 hours in the last six days just trying to get here and to fish to get here. The fact that I don't know the details of the Ahousaht decision is telling of the number of problems we have to deal with, so I'm sorry, I can't speak to it. I don't have enough inform

Fisheries committee  Save Our BC Fisheries is a website petition that was started after Dominic was talking about bringing in these owner-operator policies, but hadn't really seen support for the idea on the Pacific coast. Many people, not just fishermen, said, “What do you mean there's no support?”

Fisheries committee  Yes, but I don't think it should just be dictated overnight like the flick of a light-switch. Hopefully, it will be done in a principled way—

Fisheries committee  I'll comment on the fact that in the lobster fishery, the export price has certainly gone up, but as it has gone up, the fishermen have also captured a share amount of that value. I don't think the price of sockeye salmon in the world has stayed stagnant for the last 30 years, bu

Fisheries committee  To add to Tasha's point, if you have someone testifying here from that lobby group, I encourage you to just look at the facts. Bring in an economist. Don't look at us. I mean, it's easy to get locked into rhetoric, trying to present such a vast amount of information in 10 minutes

Fisheries committee  Thirty seconds of the dream is that when you transition to this, you have a way of.... There's not as much leasing revenue, but fishing revenue goes up. If the people who bought licences for their retirement are impacted, their revenue from fishing itself should go up enough to r
