We had the chance to talk about the Miramichi recreational fishery a few weeks ago. I know that Serge Cormier also spends a lot of time in New Brunswick and on some Quebec rivers.
You're absolutely right. There are a huge number of recreational fishing groups, frankly on all the coasts, that have done great work in being stewards of the habitat and trying to restore and change practices that have had negative effects, so I share that view. I would add indigenous groups into the mix. I have met indigenous groups that also have very deeply held views on how to preserve and protect fish habitat and want to partner with the government and other non-indigenous groups in a way that's very encouraging. I believe that our department and governments—federal, provincial, or municipal—are able to achieve a much higher result in terms of outcomes of better public policy or better operational outcomes, if we can leverage that kind of community goodwill.
I don't disagree with the premise of your statement and we are looking for ways to include these people in the management decisions we'll be making on an ongoing basis.
