That is a specific objective of the amendment. Section 4 of the amended Fisheries Act is an agreement-making authority. There is a proposed section that says the minister may make an agreement with provinces and territories for furthering the purposes of this act.
But it also says that the minister may establish “projects and programs” for fisheries protection, and that he or she may enter into agreements with third parties. The idea there is specifically the fact that there are local watershed groups, national groups, provincial groups, and hundreds of thousands of Canadians working on fisheries protection who are passionate about fisheries protection. Our department has good relations with them. We know we can do better, so we've given ourselves the tools to be able to better align our work with their work.
