Speaking from the perspective of someone who is in a fishery, no. There's an enormous amount that needs to be discussed about these issues, and much of it has actually been hanging about in the wings for quite a while. There's a lot of grist for the mill when it comes to revising the Fisheries Act out there, and there's some stuff that's not here that probably should be part of the process. That this is happening now in such an incomplete form is part of the cause of the unease. There's no understanding on our part as to the motivation for this at all. When people don't have answers, they don't have regulations that would fill in some of the gaps, so suspicions are raised and people start asking questions.
