Let me answer that question for you.
We've been pretty transparent with our plan right from the start, even before this, about six months prior. Everybody knew what we were doing. I wasn't hiding it. The assembly knew about it. We also support each other. The assembly also played a big hand in coming up with our plan.
We went to the community. We went to our fishermen on Zoom. At the end of it, we had a community meeting with all the protocols we had to follow for COVID.
Chief Terry was saying it's just a little slow for him, a little redundant. We know it's a slow process, but it's not our fault. I don't want to lay blame, but DFO, the minister's office, didn't know what was going on at the local office. That was a big factor.
We just want to do the right thing. We want to go fishing. We didn't back down. We're still fishing. I hope that pretty soon we'll keep fishing one year until December 1.
I can't speak to other communities and their plans and what they're doing. We're going to support them, though. We'll be there for them.
