Mr. Chairman, the witnesses who provided testimony today seemed to capture what I think is the predominant issue in Newfoundland and Labrador. Our committee is charged with the responsibility of looking at Transport Canada's new rules for boat stability, but it's also in reference to DFO's vessel replacement or vessel length requirements.
One of the first questions I'd like to ask would be for Norm Cull.
Norm, how aware are you of Transport Canada's proposed regulations on vessel stability and possible modifications that they are suggesting in terms of a one-size-fits-all policy on hull design? Are you aware of that issue at all?
