I hope so, but that can change.
Bill C‑39 brings other improvements, especially in the regulatory framework surrounding the Fisheries Act and the Canadian Navigable Waters Act. These are issues that the government is trying to address—things we've been asking for over the past several years.
It should be noted that the law is one thing, but the rules and regulations that will follow the act are also important. For example, we know it took several years for the Department of Fisheries and Oceans to make the necessary changes after Bill C‑69 was passed. I hope it will act more quickly this time.
