The fishing industry has coexisted with the offshore oil and gas industry in both the Nova Scotia and the Newfoundland and Labrador offshore board areas.
I can speak to the process we use in Nova Scotia. We have a fisheries advisory committee. The current version of how that's set up has been in place since 2005. We recognize the importance of the fishers who are on this committee and of the engagement and insight they give us. Through this committee, we recognize that, with the future expansion of our mandate, we need to further build and help support them and also gain their insight.
We've been facilitating opportunities for governments to talk to the fisheries advisory committee and learn about offshore renewable energy and offshore wind, as they stand. We are also encouraging them to get involved in the regional assessment going on in both of our respective offshore areas. We hope the strong relationships we've made with the fishing industry will continue and that coexistence will continue into the future.
