I think it's a combination. There needs to be a reinstatement of resources. I think, though, that working with municipalities and understanding public works and being much more flexible and efficient in terms of.... That is exactly the problem. We shouldn't have to wait six months to get approval to replace a culvert.
That is all a regulatory process issue, and it can be addressed. I think there was lots of work with the Federation of Canadian Municipalities to try to solve this. A lot of work was being done between 2006 and 2010 with stakeholders on better implementing the habitat sections of the act. That process all stopped.
One thing we had asked for as conservation and environmental groups was to have a multi-stakeholder meeting so that we could discuss issues with the agriculture federation and municipalities on how we can achieve habitat protection in a way that works for everybody. Unfortunately, the funding for the national fish habitat coordinating committee was cut, so there was no advice from environment groups and there was no approval level for that multi-stakeholder meeting. I've been involved in lots of multi-stakeholder processes and can say that sometimes you can reach agreement quite easily, if given the place to do it.
