Mr. Bonnett, the last time I sat on the fisheries committee, I brought up a case of a local issue on the Assiniboine River. It was in a cabinet minister's constituency, actually, who was called in September of 2017 about an obstruction that they needed to remove that was damaging infrastructure. As of April 20 this year, he still hadn't gotten a response, and this is causing some significant infrastructure damage. I would like to share your optimism in the department's ability to work with people on the land, but I think that DFO has a way to go to develop a service-oriented culture, which we hope they will develop.
Mr. Orb, I would assume that SARM is strongly in favour of rural economic development based on our resources.
