I don't know if I could give a good answer to that. I suspect it wouldn't be unique for policy to be developed by any department in government and then for the realities of day-to-day management activities or priorities to take precedence over implementing that policy.
I don't think anyone deliberately said they're not going to do this. With all the battles that are fought within DFO and all the resource crunch pressures and increased activities that they're responsible for, I suspect it didn't hit a priority level. That's one of the reasons the need to renew and implement it was hammered by our report. It was due for renewal last year and it's something we flagged.
That's just a guess and that's my opinion. I don't think anyone deliberately said they don't like it. I think they were probably instrumental in helping construct it.
