Again, we looked at the testimony from the previous Parliament and the deputy minister at the time who talked about 12,000 applications on their desks under the old Fisheries Act. He implied very strongly that it was clearly unworkable to have all these small projects brought to the department.
I'd like to make a point again that the new Fisheries Act allowed for something called the recreational fisheries conservation partnerships program. There were hundreds of projects supported right across the country, with some very measurable and specific outcomes. That program worked extremely well. I'm pleased that, so far, the new government has kept that program in place.
I'm still staying with Mr. Bonnett. You talked about incentives versus regulations. Should there be a well-funded, environmental incentive program, as part of the new Growing Forward initiative?
