Why would you stick with the season-long closing when it becomes obvious to you through your detection sources that the whales had already moved? I'm questioning this. No one today has a higher awareness than fishers that we must take all steps to protect the whales, and really, because of the situation in the U.S., that awareness has gone even higher, and we're doing that.
By the same token, the department has access to very sophisticated technology, paid for by the taxpayers of Canada, and that methodology should be used to allow the fishers to reduce their fishing effort and reduce their carbon footprint by not sending them all over the place to avoid these zones. The department has access to this, so why are you not using it for the benefit of the fishers?
