First, I would mention that the securities issue is part of proposed section 13 of the act. It's not an issue that's being addressed by this bill.
To answer the question that has come forward, the Coastal Fisheries Protection Act, as you know, applies to foreign fishing vessels. We have to look at the international context. Generally the rule is that once a foreign fishing vessel leaves Canadian waters, our jurisdiction ceases. This is not the case within NAFO, but as a general rule that's how it works.
The minister is advised by the department on any risks associated with that vessel. It is important for the minister to be able to establish the level for the security, given the potential for such a vessel to flee.
