I thank you for helping us to understand this legislation better.
The Species at Risk Act applies to the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, which means that it applies to oceans. As a matter of fact, you have just referred to whales.
The government recently expressed the opinion that the bluefin tuna is not a threatened species. Was that opinion based on your assessments? Did the government take the legislation into account when expressing that opinion? Are there other issues to be taken into account? Are we not supposed to take account of all threatened species?
I fail to understand what happened in the case of the bluefin tuna. It is just an example.
