Thank you very much for that question.
It's our strong belief that, due to the economic power of our fishery and its incredibly positive impacts—particularly in smaller coastal communities—current accurate, useable, cultural impact and social impact statements should be part of the decision-making process as it relates to fisheries management decisions.
We've been asking for this for many years. It's our current understanding that this is sort of a shared responsibility between the provinces and the federal government. We believe that the federal government manages fisheries in British Columbia, tidal water fisheries. Therefore, making informed decisions that include cultural and socio-economic impacts is an important part of that process.
Not enough work is being done, Mr. Arnold. More needs to be done, and it needs to be updated.
