Ernie Crey, a senior adviser to the Sto:lo Tribal Council of eight First Nations in B.C. and former employee at the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, said he views the government's decision as "poor planning and probably a snub."


"Crey, who's also a fisherman and an executive committee member of the Lower Fraser Fisheries Alliance of around 30 First Nations, is urging the government to correct what he calls a "glaring omission" and include aboriginal organizations on the committee. "If they're not prepared to do it, then we've got a serious attitude problem," he added."

Many of us have witnessed Mr. Crey to be one with "a serious attitude problem." A Federal snub may be recognition of the fact that Mr. Crey and the Advisory Group he represents, have been entirely irresponsible in managing the net fishery on the Lower Fraser River.

Ernie Crey can kiss my a$$. He's the root of most of the problems on the Fraser river.

Moreover, the advisory panel includes organizations influenced and funded by sources outside Canada, when the Conservatives have accused some Canadian environmental groups of using foreign money to attack domestic interests, including major pipeline projects.

Who would have thought we could see something the same way? X2

I would say that if they have a commercial fishing rep on the panel then they do have their representation.

Sorry but the comercial fish rep can not represent Ernie as the commercial sector has limits and the FN do not.

My other thought was to throw a party and welcome him to the "Knickers in A Knot Club"

The natives have their own avenues of access to the government. This is supposed to be for sportfishing and hunting.. not FSC... But its all smoke and mirrors anyway-- the feds have little to do with regulating provincial regulations (except waterfowl)

Anyone who knows anything about the Sto:lo Tribal Council and those eight First Nations in B.C. simply should advise Ernie Crey - he can't have this cake and eat it too on this one. They are either part of B.C. and Canada or they are not. They can enter into treaty nogiations becoming part of Canada... or if they wish, they can still continue declaring they are an independent nation and "snubing their nose" at B.C. dealing with Canada on a "nation to nation basis"!
