Specifically with VMS, they don't have, as you mentioned, that access, but there are satellite provisions as well. In fisheries where timeliness is essential, there are satellite options. Those are, of course, what VMS uses, but as Ms. Mooney said, in cases where that transmission is not possible, that information is locked. C and P has been involved in that. We're satisfied there's continuity with that data, and when they reach an area where they can transmit, it's then transmitted to the department.
