—and I came to WAPPRIITA and asked myself why we aren't using this to ban species harmful to the environment. So I did bring that up to DFO, and the legal opinion is that we can't use that because there's no mechanism, the way the legislation was built, to add species to the list. So then it became important for DFO to step up to the plate and develop draft regulations in order to have a list to prohibit import, and that's where we are right now, drafting these regulations.
