Thank you very much for the question.
If fishery officers aren't visible, it doesn't mean they're not engaged in doing their enforcement, monitoring and inspection work. Drones are great examples of that. This work is taking place on the west coast, in the Pacific region, where we have a number of pilot operators who fly drones for that purpose. In terms of our presence, we are on land, we're on the sea and we're in the air. If it's not a drone in the Pacific region, it could be an aircraft, a high-visibility patrol or a walking patrol. There are a number of tools at our disposal for us to use.
I'd also like to talk about the interdepartmental dependencies we have on every coast. It is not just DFO's C and P doing the work. We have a number of interdependencies with partners that facilitate this work.
Again, when we're not visible, we're still very much engaged in quite a profound way.
