Hopefully not where the current Federal government has been heading....

Is it 50 per cent of the fishery? What's fair and what the feds won't discuss on First Nations rights
DFO declines "full and fair" consultations with commercial fishers as it negotiates adhoc agreements with FIrst Nations on fishery access.

Yep, quite content to have coastal communities and those reliant upon fishery and other resources pay the price of entry to their reconciliation agenda. Which largely worked for most of urban Canada. Their calculus was simply to play to the urbanites and starbuck coffee crowd largely because rural Canada doesn't have the votes. Their mis-calculation appears to be no one was minding the store while they were content to fool Canadians they can have their cake and eat it too with no consequence. They seemed think that money grows on trees and tax payers have endless patience and deep pockets so long as they could keep the buy now, pay later bait and switch game going to distract voters. The jig is up, tax payers are broke.

This is over three years old now but perhaps gives some idea.
With our Pacific Salmon Strategy, Canada’s Conservatives will:
• Enforce a strict timeline for the completion of stock assessments;
• Prioritize funding for community-led habitat restoration or other projects thatsupport at-risk stocks;
• Ensure the Salmonid Enhancement Program is sufficiently resourced to support atrisk stocks;
• Increase support for and engagement with Indigenous- and community-led hatcheryand enhancement projects;
• Implement mass-marking programs at BC fish hatcheries and allowing mark-selective harvest of salmon in BC’s sport fishery, protecting sensitive fish populations while maintaining the health of BC’s public fishery;
• Create a pinniped management plan that will address threats to at-risk stocks in a balanced way; and
•Identify the likelihood of future threats due to climate change.
A Conservative government will:
• Maintain the decision to remove salmon farms from the Discovery Islands, but ensure the process is more respectful of local First Nations, communities, andworkers;
• Create a modern Aquaculture Act that can help restore public confidence;
• Strengthen monitoring requirements for salmon farms;
• Develop, in consultation with industry, First Nations, communities and other stakeholders, a comprehensive Salmon Aquaculture Management Strategy that addresses both the risks and opportunities of this sector; and
• Develop a tax incentive program for the development and adoption of technologies that reduce contact between wild and farmed salmon.

If they don’t they are irresponsible to all voters! Time for them to get it done and out there!!

I disagree. Strongly that is.
There is NO point in handing your intentions over to the enemy before engaging in battle.
As soon as the election is called, they will man up and deliver what you seek.

I look forward to seeing it!
Given the state of the books, there is little chance the Cons will expand expenditures on fishery related issues.
The one thing they will likely do is back away from the reconcilation/FN agenda the Libs seems hell bent on implementing.
In the end, expecting positive results from politicians of any stripe is a rather large leap of faith IMO.

Well for what it is worth, the Conservatives have a Hunting and Angling Caucus https://www.facebook.com/CPCHuntingandAngling/
They also have a Parliamentary Outdoor Caucus https://www.facebook.com/parliamentaryoutdoorcaucus/
So, where are the other political parties in Canada? Engagement in our fishing, hunting and outdoors will say a lot about where I would place my vote...just sayin.

Here's where the NDP stand......https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/641877d4033d22539c992829/644589fb1c2d37b255e07e77_NDP_NFHC_EN.pdf
Looks pretty lame in terms of a response on some fairly straight forward questions - their big action is to close down 30% of Canada's marine water and lock it up inside an MPA, which is code for Exclusive Economic Zone. Great!
Couldn't find anything similar to the Conservatives engagements for the Federal NDP... that would be a hard NO vote for me.

Yet we keep voting in the BC NDP.

Federal NDP sure haven't been as invested in things that matter to outdoors and fishing enthusiasts to the same degree as the Federal Conservatives. Generally people, and in this case political parties, tend to put their money where their values and investments in time align.
