Great news! Will DFO pay any attention to it?

More importantly how does this impact the upper Fraser FN's who are currently pressuring DFO for more chinook for FSC needs?

Some of the proposed solutions are to further restrict the public fishery for chinook in the Salish Sea and JDF Strait even more then it already is!!!

This could led to virtually no public chinook fishery for south Van Isle in the summer!!! How is this a solution - other then a purely expedient political response.

How about they talk to the FN's on the lower Fraser to let more salmon past their nets for the FN's up stream?

Nailed it - this is a political issue not a science-based issue. Has everything to do with the Reconciliation agenda in Ottawa. You have an opportunity on April 28th to change that.
