I understand your concern, but who gets to decide who is knowledgeable and who isn't? To me this just gives an opportunity for the elitists who cling to power by making decisions behind closed doors. You know like the politicians who don't do what the voters want, but rather what the voters would want if they were as smart as them.Sounds good but do you really think the average guy knows the real issues and ramifications now and in the future by what he or she suggests. I would rather have knowledgable people dealing with these decisions, not people who just own a boat and want to fish every day.
At the end of the day DFO will make a decision and it should be based on as much input as possible. I don't believe SFAC's or SFAB's have a mandate to screen the average fisher from DFO and hope that is not what you're suggesting.
