I would definitely agree that it is a challenge, because DFO is pretty well everywhere.
It's interesting with the question on resources. One of the ways we're trying to find the balance is by applying some risk management principles and looking at how we can mitigate. It's not to circumvent CEAA and not do an environmental assessment, but there are ways and we have tools that if work is conducted in a certain way it will not create a HADD, which is the “harmful alteration, destruction, or disruption” of fish and fish habitat.
Unfortunately, the Fisheries Act is very specific about how we apply it with respect to environmental assessment. We are trying to find ways to work with proponents to reduce those delays. Part of that is through our operational statements that describe ways of doing certain types of activity that will not create a situation where a proponent has to come to us for an authorization. We also work very closely with proponents so that those small minor projects would not have to require a full-blown environmental assessment in that way.
