With respect to the fish protection program, we are in a state of transition with the new fish protection provisions in the Fisheries Act. We are moving our organization to effectively deliver on the new approaches that are laid out in the act. In the past, many of the activities carried out by staff in the department involved reviewing projects that did not require departmental authorization, because they didn't involve a significant adverse impact on the production of fish habitat or fish. We have reoriented our program so that we are focusing our efforts where they make a difference on critical issues that would have an impact on commercial, recreational, and aboriginal fisheries.
We have consolidated our delivery points for the program from I think approximately 63 to now 16 locations. Staff in those new locations will be focusing on higher risks, taking kind of a risk-based approach, and on priorities in terms of where we think we can make a difference in protecting fisheries and fish habitat.
