The standing committee made a number of recommendations in several different areas--catch monitoring, enforcement, and improved stock assessment.
In the case of catch monitoring, we did augment the number of fishery officers. The minister made a decision at the beginning of the year to increase the number of fishery officers. In response to the standing committee, we indicated we would maintain at least the levels we had in 2006 in comparison with 2005, and we did that.
We also indicated we would augment our catch monitoring programs in 2006, and that took place.
In response to your advice, we also put in place a study of drift gillnets on the Fraser River by first nations. That was in place in 2006.
Further, we entered into more comprehensive arrangements with the Cheam first nations in terms of an enforcement protocol that improved our enforcement activities in that particular area.
My short response to your question is that overall we tried to respond to the advice and recommendations of the standing committee through stock assessment adjustments, improved catch monitoring, and enhanced enforcement.
