Sure.
In terms of the negative and the positive sides, certainly on the positive side there have been many individuals, and some are federal employees, who have been engaged in this process since the 1980s. They were in the room back in 1985 at CCIW, whose meetings I attend today, when they first started suggesting water quality targets. I'm sure everyone looked at them like they were out of their minds. Yet here we are today, and we've met some of those targets. We have cut in half the amount of phosphorus going into the harbour from 80 micrograms per litre to 40 micrograms per litre, but we need to cut that in half again. We don't have a lot of remaining technology with which to do that. That is going to be behavioural changes at the site level and so forth.
On the positive side, there has been federal support for my organization, the Bay Area Restoration Council, from the feds on down to other partners like McMaster University providing in-kind support to us since 1991. The important thing to remember is that in processes like this, the federal government has a tremendous role to play in providing those support systems to maintain continuity and maintain connectivity between groups and processes and decision-making and so forth. It's so difficult. Think of an MP and how difficult it is for them to make those connections into the community. It's very difficult.
