The recording and monitoring of removals varies from fishery to fishery, so I'd want to be careful in how I answer that question, Mr. Chair, in the sense that there absolutely is variability within the reporting requirements in both commercial and rights-based fishing activities. The department works on a fishery-by-fishery basis to ensure an appropriate level of monitoring to inform the variety of activities we're responsible for in fisheries management, in scientific activities and otherwise, including working with implicated harvesters in a particular fishery to meet their international market access requirements as well.
