In that question I think it's relevant to talk about accountability for the delivery of the science programs in terms of getting the surveys done that are necessary to produce the science. In my previous experience, in one part of my career I was responsible for the delivery of the conservation protection program, through the use of Coast Guard ships. After some very difficult discussions, the level of accountability was really raised and that improved.
Given the ongoing challenges in most DFO regions in getting the science programs delivered, I think there needs to be a much higher level of accountability. Those responsible should be held accountable to make sure that the surveys are done and that DFO science gets top priority. When it doesn't get delivered, those who were responsible should be held accountable.
