less not forget that this process was orginally started back in 2005
http://www.pac.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/fm-gp/...008FrasRvrChkInformDocument.htm#_Toc191095670 and then sara was basically ignored from about 2007 to 2017. Part 2 for example was suppose to be done in 2013

In March 2013, a pre-COSEWIC assessment reviewed through a Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat (CSAS) Regional Peer Review (RPR) process. It was determined that the draft document submitted for review did not sufficiently address all of the required criteria outlined in the standard terms of reference for a pre-COSEWIC assessment. The sections that did meet COSEWIC criteria have been compiled into a CSAS Research Document, ”Part I” Pre-COSEWICAssessment (Brown et al. in prep.). The Part I document focuses primarily on describing the life history characteristics of Chinook salmon occurring in southern British Columbia, the basis for DUs, an evaluation of whether Chinook salmon meet the residence criteria in Canada as defined by SARA and reviews information concerning threats to this species. A second “Part II” Pre-COSEWIC Assessment has been prepared to address the remaining deficiencies.
The objective of this Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat (CSAS) Regional Peer Review is to review the draft Part II Pre-COSEWIC Assessment for Southern BC Chinook Salmon, which will include: the time series of abundance data for each of the proposed DUs of the mature spawners, a description of the methods used to determine annual mature spawner abundance and data treatments, contextual information which aid the assessment of data uncertainty, and provide the results of the application of the COSEWIC quantitative criteria.
This assessment is also intended to support future work respecting the implementation of the DFO Wild Salmon Policy (WSP); therefore, utilizing previously reviewed and accepted methodologies (Holt et al. 2009; Parken et al. 2006), quantified values of WSP metrics used for status assessment will also be reviewed. A determination of WSP status will not be considered.
Results of this Regional Peer Review (RPR) will be made available to COSEWIC, the author(s) of the species status report, and the co-chairs of the applicable COSEWIC Species Specialist Subcommittee and is intended to inform a subsequent WSP status assessment scheduled for February 2014."
