Why won't the Department of Fisheries and Oceans release the at-sea observer reports? I think the department is creating a cloud around itself and participating in a conspiracy, in some people's minds, by not releasing these vital reports to allow us to see first-hand whether infractions are really on the decline or are in fact steady as she goes. Why won't the department release them?
