That's traumatic. For the government to pass off that responsibility under the Fisheries Act, one of our oldest and strongest acts, is worrisome to me.
Did the government use any methodology? You mentioned a reduction in fisheries officers in some regions. Was there any methodology used?
I'm from the west coast. We have lost a number of fisheries officers and we can never understand what the actual logic is. It's not as though fisheries are strengthening in terms of our stocks or habitat management. Do we find any assessment of the government choosing to fire 10 officers here and put them somewhere else or just never replace them?
