You mentioned the Ontario government has the boots on the ground in terms of enforcement. You also mentioned that in your opinion one of the benefits to the Fisheries Act changes was the ability to increase fines. My colleague asked about the seeming disconnect between the two. That's where I'm confused as well. Maybe you could explain how those changes to the Fisheries Act allow DFO to increase fines, but then you talk about the Ontario government being the enforcement agent. I'm not quite clear what that connection is.</p>",

Vous avez dit que le gouvernement de l'Ontario avait des gens sur le terrain pour s'en occuper. Vous avez dit \u00e9galement que d'apr\u00e8s vous, l'un des avantages des changements \u00e0 la Loi sur les p\u00eaches \u00e9tait la capacit\u00e9 d'augmenter les amendes. Mon coll\u00e8gue vous a pos\u00e9 une question \u00e0 propos de l'absence de liens entre ces deux \u00e9l\u00e9ments. Ce n'est pas clair pour moi non plus. Peut-\u00eatre pourriez-vous nous expliquer comment ces changements \u00e0 la Loi sur les p\u00eaches permettent au MPO d'augmenter les amendes, m\u00eame si vous dites que c'est le gouvernement de l'Ontario qui fait appliquer la loi. Je ne vois pas tr\u00e8s bien o\u00f9 est le lien.</p>"
