Thank you.
My question is possibly to Mr. Waddell, as you're under fisheries and licensing policy. One of the irritants I deal with in my office, as a member of Parliament, is getting calls from fishermen who cannot get through to DFO offices as it relates to transferring simple licences and applications. It's extremely frustrating. Come the weekend they want to do it; they're getting close to starting the seasons. It's an issue I deal with a lot and there has been no satisfactory resolution to it. It's unacceptable.
When somebody decides they're going to acquire a licence, it could be a week before fishing season starts, because again, the Government of Canada says when you're going to start. The answer is that it could be four weeks before they get around to transferring it, which is a simple transfer.
Could you comment on that briefly?
