The dialogue between Canadian officials and the industry certainly leaves room for improvement. There's an international dialogue as well, which is great, and there are things like the U.S.-Canada Lobster Town Meeting, which really helps to improve the dialogue between the industries. However, there's certainly room for the government to improve on its consultation with the fishing industry on all of these issues, and it would be dishonest for me to say that we ever had good consultations on the issues we're discussing today.
