Mr. Speaker, the problem to which the hon. member refers is one that is of serious concern. There is no question. There are areas where timing is of critical importance and where decisions are made by the department and have been made by the department in the past which do not give adequate warning to fishermen of the upcoming seasons, the length, the openings, et cetera.
We have instituted a new policy in attempting to speed up the entire range of fishing decisions. We have done this in discussion with the fishing groups. I will be happy to consider any particular area, any particular fishery with any particular member who may have concerns in that regard.
