This is a situation that's been getting worse as time has gone on over the past few years.
Before next spring occurs, if we're going to improve the situation, DFO needs a clear plan that is communicated to all parties. There need to be clear expectations of what is permitted and what is not permitted. They need an operational plan and resources lined up to execute their plan, bringing in staff from across the country, if needed.
Also, they have to make it clear that those who don't comply with the rules in place will be arrested, and equipment used in the commission of the offence will be seized, whether it's fishing gear, pickup trucks or what have you. They have to execute that plan. It won't take long before the situation will.... There will be a countdown, and there will be compliance if those actions are taken.
