To respond to the comment about keeping it exactly the same, what we're saying is that it's the application, not the wording. To that point, if there were an efficient process that integrated the fisheries management objectives with the provincial fisheries management agency inputs earlier, that would bring a logic to the process that was more efficient.
Foundationally, if it were broadly understood—I believe it is understood, and it has been defined in the court cases—that the purview of the Fisheries Act application is at a fishery or a fish population level, those two pieces together would bring a logic that, in concert with a rededication to freshwater ecosystem research, would provide the process efficiencies that would bring more of a science perspective to it as well. By integrating the provincial fisheries management agency, you bring in years of experience in regional and district offices, whereas fish habitat biologists located in a head office somewhere wouldn't have the same experience, the same local knowledge and information.
