One of the tools we have for that in the Atlantic, under the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, is the aboriginal aquatic resource and oceans management program, and also the aboriginal fisheries strategy. Both of these programs were implemented from court decisions, forcing DFO to work with aboriginal communities to work out aboriginal treaty rights to fishing.
That building of that relationship is fundamental to our implementation of the Species at Risk Act in the Maritimes region, or in the Atlantic region in general. When SARA came in, it was very easy for us to call up the Department of Fisheries and Oceans and say, “What's coming down the tubes? What should we be consulting about right now?” We knew who those people were. We had a relationship with them, not only just a working relationship but also fiscal arrangements, substantial contribution agreements, so we already had built on that relationship, and the Species at Risk Act just dovetails right into that quite nicely. We know what's coming down the tubes long before it even gets to the COSEWIC assessment process, and we've been able to feed into that process.
Right now, actually—I was talking about socio-economic analysis and including the social—we were talking with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans about some people up there in Ottawa coming down to our region to work out a process of how to include traditional knowledge on the social side. So that's a good key.
Now, on the land side, Environment Canada, we haven't had that relationship, so we haven't been able to feed into any of that, on the birds or the animals or the plants that are being listed. On the marine fish, yes.
