What are the pros and cons of this approach?

Pros:

• The aboriginal right to fish continues
• Negotiations will not be dragged down because DFO has a poor mandate
• DFO has a chance to go back to cabinet to get a better mandate
• Gives us an opportunity to work with the A-Tlegay First Nations to negotiate the commercial component
• We can always negotiate a Comprehensive Fish Chapter during Periodic Renewal

Cons:

• Do not have constitutionally protected FSC allocations
