Evidence of meeting #27 for Fisheries and Oceans in the 39th Parliament, 2nd Session. (The original version is on Parliament’s site, as are the minutes.) The winning word was little.
Presenter, Naufrage Harbour Authority
So much a night, so much a week, so much a month, and then so much a year. Obviously when you get to so many weeks, it becomes an issue of whether it's profitable to pay annually. I know there are some people who pay the full annual fee in several harbours. It's kind of a graded scale.
I think it's ten bucks a night, is it, Darrell?
Chairman, Naufrage Harbour Authority
It's $10 a day, $50 a week, or $400 a year.

And you don't charge any offloading fees or anything of that sort?
Presenter, Naufrage Harbour Authority
Not per se, but anybody who has a buying stand pays a fee to have that stand on the wharf, regardless of what they....
Presenter, Naufrage Harbour Authority
I think there are 12 licensed buyers there.

Now the buyers themselves would pay a fee to get on that boat?
Presenter, Naufrage Harbour Authority
They pay a fee to have a position on the wharf to upload.

What is the average size of the vessels, all 76?
Liberal
Chairman, Naufrage Harbour Authority
There are 76 boats that are lobster fishing. There are 76 boats there at all times--and we're up over 100 at times.

It's a great little picture, by the way. Obviously if you want to prove to the powers that be that you need dredging, this is probably one way to do it. I wouldn't put myself over there, because I'd still need a PFD or a life jacket.
Presenter, Naufrage Harbour Authority
Not there you wouldn't. You don't need one there.
Chairman, Naufrage Harbour Authority
You're better with your ordinary pair of boots; it's 12 or 14 inches high. That's basically what we've got for water there.
Vice-President, Naufrage Harbour Authority
That picture was taken less than two weeks ago, by the way.
Liberal
Vice-President, Naufrage Harbour Authority
It would be less than two weeks, on the last moon at the tide anyway.

What is the fluctuation between high and low tide?
Liberal
Scott Simms Liberal Bonavista—Gander—Grand Falls—Windsor, NL
There is just four feet of variance, is that it?
Liberal

Really. Thank you very much for your time.
