Ms. Graham, you told me, “once we understand what conservation measures will be put in place, we will do that socio-economic analysis”. You also told me that no socio-economic analysis has been done, yet this process has been going on for seven or eight years now.
Are you now saying that the department will be doing a socio-economic analysis before announcing which areas will be closed? Were you mistaken before, or has the department's approach changed?
