I thank the honourable member for some notice of this question. (1) No. (2) Each committee is active. The committees have been advised of and provided input into a proposal to disband the regional recreational fishing advisory committees by the end of 2009 as part of a broader reform of fisheries consultation. (3) Not applicable. (4) If the RRFACs are disbanded, formal advice on regional recreational fishing issues is proposed to be provided by tasked committees with membership and time frames specific to the issue at hand.
