Is the 10-year time frame negotiable? It seems like a long time to have to wait to deal with something like fisheries.

At this time, the 10 years is agreed to by BC and Canada in the K’ómoks Treaty. The originally proposed timeline for Periodic Renewal was 25 years, which was argued to be too long. In terms of negotiating Fisheries, until DFO is able to agree to an offer that meets the need of K’ómoks, we will fish as always under our Aboriginal Right, and according to an Annual Fishing Plan that K’ómoks will draft, implement, and inform DFO of.
