Thank you. This is a very important question, so I appreciate the chance to speak to it.
The decision-making process is constantly responding to updates to in-season information. The Fraser panel meets twice a week in-season to review updated stock assessment information and make new decisions about whether there should be adjustments in our total allowable catches for different species. In that process, we engage with representatives in the Canadian delegation—recreational, commercial and first nations users—to make those decisions in as timely a way as possible, and then turn around and publish something like a fishery notice so that people beyond our representatives at the panel know what's going to happen.
One thing we did this year, after all those concerns were raised last summer, was to start that discussion process with our domestic advisory bodies sooner in order to leave more time to talk about how we set out our options for defining that escapement plan and how we engage with people in-season. This is so people have the most timely information possible when we're making adjustments to in-season data.
