Mr. Chairman, that's a very complicated question, and I don't know if I can really give a comprehensive answer.
With respect to the specific points raised by the witnesses last Thursday, we'll be happy to reply in writing with our perspective on what they said.
With respect to Canada versus B.C., I think that's how costs are shared between governments, rather than having any participation of the private sector in the conservation of the resource—and we're not talking about agreements with B.C. where they're contributing money.
I'm afraid I've lost some of the details in going through this, but I think we made it quite clear from the beginning that we feel shared stewardship is fundamental to effective fishery management. Very frequently, fishers receive significant benefits from the fishery beyond what one might assume if there's just a minimal conservation of the resource. We consider that when they're receiving substantial private benefits, they should also be making some contribution.
