Certainly, over the last 30 years, the department has implemented a variety of policy frameworks to help ensure the sustainable management of fisheries. There's the precautionary approach framework, among others. In 2019, the Fisheries Act was amended to create the fish stock provisions. It places new requirements on the minister in terms of her management decisions related to stocks in the critical zone, in particular.
As I mentioned earlier, we are also now embarking on advancing work related to ecosystem approaches to manage fisheries. It will allow us to better take into account species' interactions, environmental changes and other factors. This is cutting-edge work. It's not an approach that is broadly used anywhere in the world. We are working on advancing that, as well.
All of those lessons and all of that progress mean we're in a very different place, in terms of our knowledge and ability to sustainably manage fisheries, than we were 30 years ago. Because of that, we are able to establish a much more robust management regime for this fishery and for other fisheries that will hopefully open in the coming years. We'll be able to therefore manage them in a much more sustainable way and for the long term, if possible.
