I cannot speak to whether or not the minister had informed our department.
What I would say is that illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing is certainly an issue for the CBSA, and we ensure that we have compliance measures in place to find and to intervene where illegal exports are destined abroad. The variety of different export mechanisms or the different modes would require anything from road...and there's air and marine commercial. We have officers that are specifically focused on ensuring there is compliance and that only legal products are destined for overseas.
I cannot speak to any conversations that the minister may have had with any of our senior officials within the CBSA. However, I would state that it is something we are very much attuned to, and we have a variety of different types of operational activities specifically designed to identify and intervene for illegal shipments destined abroad.
