In 2014, we did a review of all the species that had been looked at more than once by COSEWIC between 1977 and 2013, which I believe was the cut-off. We found in the freshwater fish that only six species had improved in status over that time period. This has been a long-standing problem. When we're prioritizing getting things built, I definitely agree that streamlining is important, but we can't lose sight of the fact that our systems for helping fish recover and for keeping the habitat intact need to improve, as well.
