In that respect, this is indeed a role the federal government plays in Quebec. And, it is something we follow closely. I was saying earlier that there had been failures in the management system, but in Quebec, the federal surveillance system is effective for Quebeckers. I don't know whether it is as effective in the other provinces, but here, it is. Also, there is cooperation with fishers. This may also exist in the other provinces, but here there is a confidential phone line that people can call to blow the whistle on poachers. Because this is a small community, it is important to have that confidential phone line. We have also been educating fishers so that they will use that phone line to blow the whistle on colleagues. As well, the federal government has been engaged in an awareness campaign in the primary schools. We are making our children aware, from a very young age, of the need to avoid poaching, to behave responsibly, and so on. As far as that goes, I have to commend the federal government.
