I'm now going over to DFO.

The Haida people are now looking for this relationship of a 50/50 partnership managing the one area that you put forward, which is the Hecate Strait-Queen Charlotte Sound glass sponge reefs going from northern Vancouver Island all the way up to the Arctic coast. They've talked about DFO missing in action in this plan, and they have started creating their own system plan for an MPA in that area.

Does DFO feel that a 50/50 partnership would also be a wise move to work with the Haida people?
