Thank you for that question.
One of the Senate committee's recommendations was recommendation 7 of the Nunavut study in 2009. It urged the Department of Fisheries and Oceans to “substantially increase its funding for exploratory research in Nunavut's adjacent waters, and that it commit to a multi-year, multi-species research program”.
I think our federal government has worked in cooperation with co-management partners, the Inuit communities and stakeholders. They've developed a narwhal integrated fisheries management plan and a Greenland halibut integrated fisheries management plan based on this exploratory research.
There are other species, though, and further research should be conducted. We've made a start, but it's not complete. I think the Inuit, if they come here, would probably have some advice on that. Narwhal and halibut have been done, but there are many other species.
It should be ongoing. That would be my answer, my recommendation.
