It's based on the empirical evidence. If we look at what was happening—I'll refer the committee to slide 5, figure 1—by the time we're into 2010-11 we've seen a reduction in referrals to DFO from almost 14,000 to fewer than 8,000, and the number of authorizations at that time declined from about 700 to roughly under 300 a year, so that's roughly 300 in all of Canada per year. It's hard to understand in that context what all the red tape was about. That's essentially where that came from.
Also, of course, in looking at the letters of advice and the operational statements, all of that was designed by DFO in those 10 years to really reduce the burden, to say, “Look, don't come to us, don't bother us, you can deal with this yourselves.” They just asked that you notify them, for instance, that you were going to be doing an activity on the landscape. I never heard, frankly, in a sense...it was never substantiated that there was in fact this immense burden.
