I think one of the things is to be careful about death by a thousand cuts. You streamline, assuming that small projects have little effect, and that's an incorrect assumption. Small projects, many of them, can have very detrimental effects to migrating salmon and other fisheries. One has to be careful about that assumption.
The better way of looking at it is to provide meaningful guidelines under the Fisheries Act for the kinds of things that the minister should be doing. I'll stress that it's the November 29 submission that's before you already in writing, and it contains all the amendments we're suggesting. In that submission, we're suggesting that the purpose of the act is to give more clarity around what your goals are under the act, and we have a specific purpose section.
When making decisions under that, including for regulations, there are specific objectives that we're suggesting the minister be charged with meeting. That's going to provide the context that's necessary for applying the Fisheries Act in a modern way.
