I find it funny how when if comes to fisheries everyone blames DFO, but when it comes to taxes no one blames revenue canada. When it comes to taxes the party of the day owns the decision.
The decision to capture whales was around 1964 under a liberal government. led by Lester Pearson
In 1976 live captures were banned under a Liberal government, led by Prime Minister Trudeau
People saw the harm it caused and black fish went from being hated to be loved.
SRKW obviously have a big history with the Liberal Government, Again were seeing management measure under a Liberal government.
The same happens with salmon stocks, We all want to hammer them hard until no show up and then it's time to point fingers. In most cases we don't fish for stocks that cannot support a fishery. The major problem is mixed stock fisheries. Everyone wants to hammer the abundant stock however we also hammer the endangered co migrating stock.
That's where the major part of DFO miss management happens, But what do you guys want? Only to have terminal fisheries? DFO gets sued every time someone doesnt get their TAC.
area E gillnetters are currently suing DFO because they did not get their TAC of sockeye because it got shut down for the coho closure. Area B seiners came in and cleaned up the remaining TAC.
Add into management all the supreme court decisions and I am not sure I would do a better job then DFO.
