Fisheries committee  That means more can get by, right?

Fisheries committee  That's certainly a strategy. Looking at timing windows for fishing, and all those types of things, need to be taken into account.

Fisheries committee  There are a couple of things. In terms of trying to figure out what we do spend on this...it's fisheries management that's deciding what we should have in terms of the rules. Part of the answer is catch and release in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. That's something we did last year,

Fisheries committee  I would say we've certainly acted on more than that. What we said we've specifically acted on were the interim recommendations in addition to the 61. These we formally said that we accepted. We're working on many of them and they are consistent with what we have been doing. We're

Fisheries committee  Yes, indeed. Greenland used to have a significant harvest years ago, and they stopped it. Then they started it, three or four years ago, and you will see that, as you point out, on that graph. We have struggled, bit by bit, with the recreational community, with the aboriginal co

Fisheries committee  I'll start by saying the observation that the studies—we can call them studies—are similar in terms of no smoking gun, but looking at a program of work in all of these areas, and frankly, keeping our feet to the fire on all of those issues.... We do take that seriously. I think

Fisheries committee  I'll start. If anybody wants to weigh in, go ahead. I think we'll acknowledge that they're not eating Volkswagens, as a former deputy once said.

Fisheries committee  The very specific relationship that has been shown is with southern Gulf cod. Science has determined that there actually is a clear relationship in terms of inhibiting the recovery of cod. If we're not seeing it that much in terms of salmon, there just aren't that many salmon to

Fisheries committee  Yes. In terms of enforcement, we do a lot of enforcement on it in Atlantic Canada, and certainly, one of the committee's recommendations was that we should be doing more and looking at guardians and partnering with local groups. That is something we will look at. We do it more in

Fisheries committee  I'll take that on. I said earlier that we generally see this as a program of work that actually provides some guidance about focus, priority, etc. There's very little in here that we were not working on before, In terms of how much it would cost, it would be a matter of how far

Fisheries committee  I'll say soon.

Fisheries committee  I'll say yes.

Fisheries committee  It's a very difficult thing to do. I'll give you a number, but I am also going to preface it with this: how much of my time gets spent on Atlantic salmon, how much of a conservation and protection officer's time gets spent on Atlantic salmon when they're out doing a patrol is rea

Fisheries committee  The department continues to be concerned about the number of grey seals. Trevor, is the next assessment next year? Right, so there is another assessment coming. The last assessment said it was 505,000, and a generation ago it was 30,000. It really is an issue. In terms of the

Fisheries committee  We would generally say it's a similar approach, maybe not as severe in the Pacific. The one thing I'd note on the comparison on the Pacific—Gérald pointed to the different life processes—is they spawn more than once. That's enormously different, but the really striking thing is,
