I think the focus of Fisheries and Oceans going forward is going to be on the really important habitats that exist within Canada. It's interesting that the terminology refers to the contribution to the commercial, recreational, and aboriginal fisheries. I think most people don't realize that means the minnows and other fish that actually may not form a fishery at any one point, but feed fish that support a fishery will be protected. It does incorporate an ecosystem-based approach here.
