The word “habitat” has not been removed from the Fisheries Act. The term “fish habitat” is still included in the act, and the definition of that is very clear. Fish habitat means spawning grounds and any other areas, including nursery rearing, food supply, and migration areas, on which fish depend directly or indirectly in order to carry out their life processes.
In addition, we've amended the act to include a broader set of threats to the fisheries, such as aquatic invasive species, the killing of fish by means other than fishing, and the destruction of habitat. So it's well defined in the act, and I'm quite confident. I don't really know where the idea came from that habitat was not included in the act, but it definitely is.
