I appreciate that answer.

There possibly could be a federal role though. The management of inland fisheries is clearly under provincial jurisdiction, but again, your department has the salmonid enhancement program which is funded to almost $30 million a year.

Do you think there could be the possibility of replicating fisheries enhancement programs that provinces largely don't do? Could that be a possible role for the federal government?
