I worked with Fisheries and Oceans for 18 years. While I was in Prince Edward Island, I used to meet with every local community fish and game club about once a week for at least a phone call. Today, now, I sit on the other side of the table. We have a recreational fisheries coordinator in the gulf region of Moncton, and maybe once every few months we might get a phone call.
If your job is to be a recreational fisheries coordinator and Atlantic salmon and striped bass are the biggest issues, Bill Taylor should be called, I should be called, and the rest of you people should be called. You should be out there in a constant dialogue, and that just doesn't happen.
I think the community relations and getting into the core of the people is not what's happening. It used to be back when I worked there. We were out there every day talking to people, and that's not happening today.
