Somebody's not passing the communications up the chain to you, then, because this was highly communicated to me as a member and vice-chair of this committee. It was communicated to DFO staff regularly and repetitively, yet your department delayed and delayed. Basically, there were two weeks lost from the public fishery at Lillooet because of some confusion over which stocks might be there.
I want to go back to some of Mr. Gunn's questioning.
Are there any governing bodies that have veto power over the decision-making of the minister or the department?
