Fin Donnelly at the Fisheries and Oceans Committee

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yes, I do.

I gave notice on this motion. I'll read the motion into the record.

I move that, because fleet separation and owner-operator policy is critical to coastal communities and to protecting independent fishers in the inshore fishery, the committee reaffirms its support for fleet separation and owner-operator vessels in the inshore fishery and opposes any move to eliminate this policy.
