The department conducts draws when it comes to access to particular fisheries, and oftentimes that draw is also witnessed by others. I'm not specifically familiar with the case you're referring to, but where it comes down to access to fisheries, I can assure you that the department, if it doesn't do the draw itself, is present when the draw is taking place. I don't know the specifics you're referring to.
