One thing that we know they're contemplating is looking at large off-shore areas that perhaps need less consultation because there are fewer users and there is not a near-shore effect from there being a lot of people and communities. That's one option we know they're exercising, and it could land large areas.
Our concern, as I said in my presentation, is to make sure that the outcome of this process actually benefits us from the point of conserving biodiversity and recovering degraded species and fish stocks. It's in that hard work, which is more on the shelf and in the inland waters, that we have to do a lot more.
I don't have the magic on that problem. If we decide that we really want to do this, we have to put more resources in place. Where the government gets them is a bigger economic issue. Whether we take them from oil subsidies or other places in government, it's obvious to me that..... Then if you throw in the layer of first nations co-governance, it becomes very complicated very quickly.
I think there are ways, including revising the Oceans Act, that will help us do some of this. There are some process best practices around consultation and engagement that I think we could use much better to get the job done sooner.
