Mr. Arnold, you're talking about having the one regulatory regime. I know we've had numerous talks with the minister even over the last three months. We've had maybe five or six calls, and at every call that is one of the linchpins that is always talked about, one regulatory system. There only can be one regulator, meaning DFO, and the minister has certainly the power and the wherewithal to issue licences and do whatever else. Two regulatory regimes or three is simply a non-starter for the industry. It has to be one regulator, period.
