I am assuming you mean DFO. Again, that's a tough one to answer. You will never really be able to do everything that needs to be done; it's a balancing act. I've always been a proponent of as much field research as possible, and that we apply the federal DFO dollars to hands-on research out there. The snow crab trawl survey is an example of that: you are actually out there taking real measurements on the real bottom and working with the industry on that. The industry has been very cooperative on the snow crab science, even to the point of funding many of the trawl surveys. For that spring survey in area 19 that I talked about, the fishermen said they'll pay for it, pay the whole thing. So that's a pretty strong incentive and shows how important it is for that sector to get accurate information.
So the answer is that there is never enough, but this is the real world. I have budgets in my own department, and you can only deal with what you have.
