I think we take them in a couple of ways. To put it into context, the commercial industry advisory committee, which is comprised of all the six fishery groupings I spoke of earlier--halibut, ling cod, groundfish trawl, rockfish, and dogfish--is involved in the commercial industry committee, which ultimately made the recommendation that the minister approved with conditions. Those organizations supported this. Are we saying there aren't individual members within those organizations that have other views? No. Are we saying there's 100% consensus on the integrated groundfish? No.
We're saying we think that most of the commercial industry is supportive of this change. We're saying that if we did not make this change, the alternative was much worse. We're saying there is still flexibility and will continue to be flexibility to make adjustments to try to make this pilot work even better than it does today. But this pilot holds the promise of allowing the groundfish fishery in B.C. to continue. The alternative was to put at risk the ability of the groundfish fishery to continue in the form it was.
Yes, there are challenges. Yes, there's resistance in some locations. And yes, we need to continue to make refinements to improve the groundfish pilot. But we have a basis now of looking out the front-view mirror rather than looking in the rear-view mirror for a change. That's what this pilot's about.
