As I said, for the most part, I'm hearing from members that things are generally working well.
I would also underscore anything to do with safety. Safety is an absolute top priority for Fisheries Council of Canada members.
There are other factors that one must consider when making decisions around opening and closing dates. I think the opportunity lies in more clarity and openness around what the process is and making sure in all cases that everyone understands that, that the process is adhered to and that timely decisions are made.
For the most part, what I'm hearing from members, particularly on the east coast, is that the decision-making processes are generally working well, so my comments are meant for continuous improvement.
