DFO has a system in place for commercial harvesters that involves the submission of log books and records of catches. It ties into all of the provincial licences that are issued, in terms of the quantity of lobster coming ashore. It's a program that has been in place in the Maritimes DFO region for, I would say, probably 15 years. On the gulf side, it has been in play for quite a while as well.
Sometimes the information is slow to be processed—we find that on our side—but I think it's been an opportunity for us to have better data, and it has evolved. It's not perfect, Mr. Johns, but we on the industry side work with harvesters to make it better, more efficient and accurate. DFO is working at it as well.
Sure, there are imperfections, but it has come a long way, and I think that it has been an important feature in our fishery. I don't think we need any more of it, however; I think what we need to do is use what we have wisely.
