Thank you. I appreciate that.
Mr. Bonnett, your organization has stated that:
Canadian farmers have...faced regulatory uncertainty regarding the management of drainage ditches and irrigation canals on their land, so the proposed changes are a positive development for the agricultural community. Farmers rely on the proper maintenance of drainage ditches to ensure their farms remain productive and viable but the Fisheries Act did not recognize this.
This is from a news release approximately a month ago.
How would the changes in part 3 of Bill C-38 affect your stakeholders' ability to create and improve habitat? What types of difficulties, setbacks, or holdups have your members encountered when dealing with the Fisheries Act?
