Thank you very much for those clarifications.
Earlier, my Bloc Québécois colleague talked about political will and the fact that not enough effort had been made to achieve our targets. It is all well and good to always criticize the policy, but at the end of the day, industry stakeholders are asking to be consulted and to be part of the solution to define new marine protected areas.
Based on your observations in the report, do you feel that there was more collaboration than usual with industry to come up with new measures for marine protected areas? As I said earlier, this would not only protect the livelihoods of these fishers, but also protect our oceans so that the fishery is sustainable for the next generation. Did you feel that the department was working more closely with the industry?
