Yes, there's a fishing plan for every fishery. It's a yearly fishing plan. The Department of Fisheries and Oceans, at the beginning of the season, will say, “Here are the regulations, the same as last year,” or “We are changing this or changing that.” That happens on a regular basis.
Since the arrival of the whales in 2017, the fishing plans and the regulations have changed substantially, and, I would argue, rightfully so, because of the presence of the right whales and because of the incidents where we had entanglements and mortalities.
I have witnessed a great effort in co-operation and collaboration to come up with the right plan, and that was more significant than I was used to, over my years. I have never seen the industry.... I was saying the same thing to the processors and the fishermen. Quite often, we tend to butt heads, but when it comes to the right whales, it's impressive to me how everybody is really working together. It's not that we agree on everything, as we are hearing today, but the effort that is being made by everybody to try to work it out is very impressive. It has led to some improvement of this fishing plan from year to year.
We need to continue to have that exchange. We need to hear from Mr. Poirier again, and also from Mr. Best and others. We need to continue to do that. We have made strides of progress, but we can't say, “Yes, we have the right solution; now everything is fine.” No, we need to keep on working and keep on making those changes.
