Yes, those people worked hard but it was clear, has been for years, that such work was in vain and a waste of time and energy. Many saw this coming years ago, warned that this advisory system was broken and a waste. These people on the SFAB committees should have thrown the towel into DFO's face a long time ago either demanding a serious process or stop pretending to consult. They played nicely along year after year, wasted years of theirs and their constituent's time, getting shafted year after year for all their belief and effort! Ridiculed year after year and still bowing their head before the almighty DFO. Wow. If that's not spineless, shameful and embarrassing then I don't know what. Quit this silly game already.
