Yes, our discussions with former DFO officers are showing that the culture is the worst it's ever been. There's a lot of that being attributed to a change in bringing managers in from outside of compliance and enforcement and bringing managers in who are not passionate about the resource and passionate about fish. That is a challenge in our area provincially and federally. We really want to see people work for DFO who are advocates for fish and care about the sustainability of fishing first. That's really important to us.
