Sure. When I say historical public policy, the FFAW have talked about this 40-year commitment that exists. We just went through a judicial process that some of you are familiar with. Under cross-examination, a FFAW employee, Courtney Glode, could not point to the exclusivity clause in the 1979 Corner Brook conference, the 1982 Kirby task force report or the 2004 policy framework. There's no reference to exclusivity, but there is to priority. We all acknowledge that, and we support priority.
The first appearance really turned up in 2015 in terms of the Liberal Party platform commitment or the letter, I should say, from Anna Gainey with the Liberal Party of Canada in 2015, talking about reaffirming a past commitment. Well, there was no past commitment. It didn't exist.
It did show up in 2021. Minister Jordan did indicate it in 2021 in the integrated fisheries management plan. Upon conversation with her on the topic, it was simply put in there to live up to a past political commitment and wasn't really informed by past public policy. The trail of this goes back to 2015 and a letter that really wasn't accurate with respect to past historical public policy. That's the context, I guess, around the historical component of this. There is no 40-year history around this.
