I think the previous government, in the gutting of DFO and all the capacity it did have, and the Coast Guard previously, had a very negative impact on the ability to do things around here. The reality is that we definitely need more. They shouldn't look at the first nations as just another stakeholder. We are the rights holders and titleholders to these areas, so they should look at us as a partner, as somebody who would embrace the challenge and the difficulty of wanting to do this. That's what our expectation is.
