Fin Donnelly at the Fisheries and Oceans Committee

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I'll just read out the motion that's in front of the committee for October 4, 2010:

That, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), the Standing Committee on Fisheries and Oceans undertake a study

--and, I would add, a limited study--

of the Fish Lake/Taseko mine project to determine if DFO's response is in keeping with its mandate to prohibit the “harmful alteration, disruption or destruction of fish habitat” (Section 35(1), Fisheries Act) and the “deposit of a deleterious substance in waters frequented by fish” (Section 36(3), Fisheries Act); that the Minister and relevant officials as well as stakeholder groups be called to testify.

I so move.
