Quickly, for context, Fisheries and Oceans has one of the most comprehensive and transparent processes for ensuring that there's an independent science advice process. We're still implementing new measures to further those independencies.
For example, there's the new expert identification committee that was created this year, in collaboration with the chief science adviser, who independently selects external participants for key science advice meetings. We also have policies on conflict of interest and participation. Everything we provide in science advice is published in the open literature.
Within the current Fisheries Act, there are a lot of provisions to ensure the independence of the science.
