I will skip then to the main concerns that our members have indicated to us. The first is the need to regulate appropriate levels of fishing. We have a limited effort, and the fishery has delivered a valuable, sustainable fishery. The other one is to conduct the fishery according to common, mutually agreed upon rules and seasons. These are important. They're based on what's best for the fishery, not necessarily best for who is removing the fish from the sea. It's the fishery that matters here. Having mutually agreed upon rules helps maintain compliance among our members.
One of the things our members have been saying, and all organizations have been saying repeatedly, is that we need some communication here. We don't feel that we've been heard. We have significant problems with the fact that DFO has failed to figure out a way to include us. We understand the nature of nation-to-nation negotiations, but there has to be a place for commercial harvesters.
