From my vantage point, the level of engagement with the fishing sector as a whole, whether it be indigenous operators or non-indigenous operators, was left wanting.
I think that given the importance of oceans to Canada—we have the largest coastline in the world—we have significant commitments to managing our ocean ecosystem and fish resources, yet there wasn't that much attention to the strategy. Maybe it's too high-level.
DFO has certainly been working on it in terms of impacts we can expect in the decades to come for the ocean ecosystem and the impact on fish resources. We've already seen mammals and fish changing their migrating patterns and behaviour. That's going to continue.
How does that impact our management and licensing of the resource?
