Yes, the issues at stake can involve the role and the responsibility of different people on the value chain. The governments are one, and DFO is one, as are the industry—both on the processing and the harvesting sides—and the distributors, and so on. Everybody can play a role. I said there was no magic bullet or magic solution to this since you really need to look at this in a comprehensive way and look at the roles and responsibilities across the value chain. As Adam pointed out, Fisheries and Oceans Canada has put in place measures that have influenced and helped in terms of the seasons, and closures to address the supply and glut issues.
Agriculture Canada has a role with respect to food, market access, and food marketing. Since the mid-1990s, that has included seafood. So they have a role and they also sit around the table with the lobster industry together with the Lobster Council. Everybody sitting across that seafood value chain can play a role—but within the scope of their responsibilities.
So we're not saying that we can't do anything as a department, but we do have a role and mandate, as Kevin pointed out.
