I call the meeting back to order.
As we discussed at our meeting on Tuesday, the second hour of our meeting today will be to deal with the motion that was put forward by Mr. Byrne, that motion being:
That pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) the Standing Committee on Fisheries and Oceans report the following to the House:
Given the evidence heard by the House of Commons Standing Committee on Fisheries and Oceans at hearings in March, May and October 2009, and the serious concerns recently expressed by the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador, the Committee recommends that the Government of Canada not ratify the Amendment to the Convention on Future Multilateral cooperation in the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries adopted by the General Council of the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization (NAFO) in 2007, and that Canada notify NAFO of its objection to the amendment as per Article XXI of the Convention.
Is there discussion on the motion?
Mr. Kamp.
