I think it's really important that the whole fishing community is included in these sorts of decisions. Being from southwestern Nova Scotia, I know it was welcomed that there were representatives at that meeting from the lobster industry there.
However, I can't stress how important it is to make sure that not only are consultations done, but that they're seen to be meaningful among the groups that are involved. Thank you for that recent work.
If I could turn to another thing, earlier today we heard a proposed measure from the Gaspésie professional fishermen. They were comparing the standard in regulation or policy between Canada and the United States. The proposal is basically regarding the closure of dynamic grids. Right now if a single right whale is spotted, that may trigger a closure of the dynamic grid, whereas in the United States it's when three right whales are simultaneously present.
Can you comment on why there's a different standard, and if any thought has been given to matching up the standard with the United States?
