Thank you.
I want to move to what Mr. Taylor from the Atlantic Salmon Federation had to say in his testimony. He was concerned, as you may have noted, about the regulatory changes that are expected to come into force in January and the fact that there haven't been the kinds of consultations that would have been expected. He said in particular that in order to properly engage in cost savings, etc., they needed access to the reports of the Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat. He referred to the fact that he understood that DFO officials were meeting with the provinces for the purpose of developing scientific data to guide the amendments.
Will you make that information with respect to the Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat available, and any other scientific data with respect to the implementation of these amendments, or as it relates to guiding the amendments?
Second, there's been some indication that the January 1 deadline is somewhat aspirational, although there's been nothing clearly said. People are afraid that on January 1, bang, it's going to hit the table and it's done. ASF specifically asked that the reference in the order in council be changed from January 1 to June in order to allow for proper consultation.
I wonder if you could respond, please, to those comments.
