Referring to other industry groups' apparent approval of the treaty, Iverson said the union's job would be difficult because the government gets different groups fighting each other.
Another UFAWU advisor, Frank Cox, said the strategy of the government is to get fishermen to believe this is the best they can do, but he warned this attitude would be disastrous for the industry.
"It's obvious in the Pearse Report that the Canadian government doesn't want a healthy industry on this coast," he said. "They want us to get the hell out of the way for the mega-projects of the multinational companies."
He said other advisors agreed to support the treaty before they saw the text of it and before the figures on the interception imbalances were released.
UFAWU president Jack Nichol said the union is challenging other industry organiza-. tions to speak out against the treaty.
"Our negotiators took a straw

vote of the industry advisors who had not even seen the text of the agreement and they voted to accept," Nichol said. "Our organization was the only one opposed. We're issuing a call to all industry organizations to study this treaty and then take a stand in defence of Canadian interests."
Long-time shoreworker Dorothy Nealy said she was angered at the way the government was treating the fishermen.
"I don't see why all these fishermen aren't throwing their chairs up against the wall," she said. "We've got to get on the ball and let everybody know we won't stand for it."
Also released at the convention was the text of minutes of a meeting held between Canadian and American legislators in Key Largo, Florida, last year, in which the Americans warned that they would under no circumstances reduce their interceptions to benefit Canadians.
"This document backs up our assertion that the treaty is tailored to U.S. demands," Hewi-son said. "The Americans are very clear that they are unwilling to reduce interceptions in any way."
In brief, the union opposes the agreement because:
• it fails to ensure any major reduction in the harvest of Canadian stocks and postpones the negotiation of a true interception agreement indefinitely;
• it establishes joint Cana-dian-U.S. management bodies to monitor fisheries on the entire

coast, giving Americans a voice in Canadian fisheries policy at the expense of our national sovereignty;
• it fails to give Canada any control over salmon stocks in the Yukon River and makes major concessions to American demands for fish in Canadian rivers flowing to the sea through the Alaskan panhandle.
Nichol also refuted industry and government arguments that the signing of a treaty will turn on the tap for money to enhance the Fraser River, arguing instead that enhancement money remains uncommitted and there is no guarantee Canada will get the benefits of enhancement under the proposed treaty.
At present the treaty is being hotly debated in the United States, where many industry groups have come out against it, but Nichol cautioned this should not be taken as an indication we're getting a good deal in Canada.
"They are not opposing this agreement because it rolls them back, they are opposed because they have had a field day harvesting our stocks and see no reason to allow any restriction whatsoever of their efforts."
