There are a lot of different panels and harvest committees that do sit down with DFO. It just seems that a lot of the time the advice that's provided is not taken. I have a letter here from a harvest committee for area F that talks about a delay in our season of six days in 2023. It was a sudden, last-minute decision. It was going to cost $25,000 to $50,000 per vessel in loss of income, but that delay wasn't even supported by DFO's own science.
That's the kind of stuff we're dealing with. There's science and advice, but it just doesn't seem to be taken into account.
