Thank you, Mr. MacAulay.
Some of them are in limbo. These are basically funding mechanisms for co-management and co-funding of activities. It is very difficult for associations to go forward when there's a complete lack of clarity about what is the responsibility of the federal government for funding, what is the responsibility of industry, and what's nobody's responsibility.
So in the absence of policy, my fishery has had to do a short-term, interim, much-stripped-down agreement just to allow our independent science to have access to departmental data. We've refused to pay for anything when it deals with science or surveys, because we think it's the responsibility of the government to respond to the court decision, and they haven't responded.
The person who can probably tell you more about some of the impacts due to lack of certainty is Geoff Gould. His fishery was the first one on the west coast that was impacted. They needed funding because they had an opening and it didn't happen.
