We wanted to make people more aware that the fish that we are conserving in the commercial troll sector were being allocated to the lodges under last years regulations. They hadn't even decided if there was going to be an aboriginal food fish and constitutionally, conservation comes first and aboriginal food fish is second. The rest of us are third. Historically, commercial fishing has been around a helluva lot longer than these lodges. That is their fault.
Fishing is a high risk industry that has no guaranty.
We knew the consequences when we went into this business and we always listened to DFO because conservation was supposed to be their mandate. Now, you can not listen to them any more because obviously, conservation is not their mandate, it is a double standard. It is obvious that this is impacting your livelihood. I don't know. We just couldn't let it go.
