Yes, the government recently made an investment to enhance the work the department is undertaking to implement our fisheries monitoring policy to achieve greater coherence across our fisheries. An important part of that is expansion of our electronic logbook program, which is currently largely voluntary. There are a few examples in Quebec of fisheries for which it is now a requirement, but over the next year or so we're looking to expand the available technology so that we can move to a system in which logbooks are entirely electronic so that we have real-time data coming from harvesters to better understand the state of play of a particular fishery and also to make it easier for them to provide us that information.
