Thank you.
I'd like to see that before we finish this study. I think it's very important. Those were key components when I crafted this study's motion. I believe they are very important as we and the government move forward with our recommendations.
I want to move on to a slightly different topic now: southern resident killer whale management zones on the west coast.
There have been proposals floated out there by DFO to severely restrict access to chinook fisheries, especially off the southwest coast of Vancouver Island, to the point where it would eliminate the livelihoods of entire communities because of the recreational fishing opportunities that happen around those areas. Instead of static closures that would close off areas for extended periods of time and space, has the department looked at more dynamic closures, like the ones being used in some of the whale protection areas on the east coast?
