Fisheries committee We have had experts come before and tell us that representatives from certain countries have indicated that Canada has not been very opposed to these measures, which would be so destructive to the inshore fishery. How would you respond to that?

Fisheries committee Thank you very much, Mr. Chair; and welcome, Mr. Minister. What does this proposed de minimis provision that you've spoken about include? You say that was proposed in April. Was that April of this year?

Fisheries committee What I would like to know is, with all these negotiations going on, which are so desperately important for the inshore fishery—in fact, it's the death of the inshore fishery if what is proposed happens—why did the government wait until April to put this proposal forward? These pr

Lawrence MacAulayLiberal
Fisheries committee You want this committee to put in a report to the Minister of Fisheries and the government. What I would expect you want in that report is that you'd like to expand a little bit on the idea that your fishermen have a long piece to go in order to get to a safe harbour. You have to

Fisheries committee Time is short. Mr. Traverse, the Jackhead Reserve.... First of all, thank you for coming, and there is absolutely no need to apologize. We've heard a lot rougher language than that over time. It was not rough at all, and we're very pleased you're here. Is your wharf totally f
