Again, following on the theme, from those who were on the development side of witnesses appearing, regardless of whether they were farmers, miners, loggers, or municipal developers, they felt that the 2012 changes more clearly defined sections to the act that they were dealing with. Groups from first nations communities and from all the fisher groups felt that those changes opened the act too widely to destroying habitat without any protection in place. So, you have the two different parallels.
Complicating that was what seemed to be the most negative impact, that at the same time that the 2012 changes were made to the Fisheries Act, there was a significant reduction in the number of personnel who could enforce what was there.
I would like to get comments from Ms. Gaertner on that, as well as from the witnesses from Nunavut Wildlife Management Board.
