That's a great question.
I think when we started putting measures in place in 2018, we basically started by using a sledgehammer to kill a fly. Now year after year we've been trying to optimize our measures and refine them so that as we move forward, we continue protecting the right whales as best we can. As I mentioned before, we've done a great job on that in the last few years.
By refining through knowledge and science and through collaborative science with industry, fishermen and DFO, we are finding tailored approaches and sometimes area-specific approaches to mitigating risk for right whales. A bunch of solutions are proposed year after year, as has been mentioned to this committee in presentations over the last few days. Every few months an advisory group sits down and talks about potential ideas and things that don't work and things that work better.
As we move forward, I think new technologies may appear that may be interesting to work on as we study these new approaches, but, again, we need to take our time with every new protection measure. This is currently the case with the weak rope. We lack too much information at this point, so to have it forced on industry could potentially have a catastrophic effect on the ecosystem.
