Mr. MacLean, we've heard a fair number of times that local knowledge sometimes isn't rated highly enough by DFO when it's given to them. They'll quite often hear something and then come back with something quite a bit different from what the local people, who should know the conditions, would advise.
If we were to rewind the clock to the decision to close the snow crab fishery, how would you advise DFO to proceed if this situation were to come up again?
