| Scope and content | File contains a presentation by Joy Thorkelson, United Fishermen and Allied Workers Union. Thorkelson, the Union's Northern Representative, delivers a presentation "from a Northern perspective of a fishing community that has a great deal of Native participation and certainly within our Union we have many First Nations people...Seventy-five to eighty per cent of our members." Thorkelson discusses a range of environmental, trade, and economic issues effecting the West Coast fishery, and its various communities. Key concerns highlighted are the British Columbia treaty process, the General Agreement on Trade and Tariffs (GATT), and the FTA between Canada and the United States. Following the presentation Commissioners Chartrand and Wilson discuss some of the issues raised with Thorkelson. | |
