No.
In terms of the domestic fishery sector, this bill is targeted exclusively at foreign fishing vessels. It will have no impact on the domestic fishing sector.
Insofar as it helps to curtail IUU fishing, it will be beneficial for the domestic fisheries sector, because one of the detrimental impacts of IUU fishing is that it depresses pricing in global markets for fish products.
The bill also could have some impact on importers of fish into Canada, although we are of the view that those impacts will be very minor in nature. It will have no impact whatsoever on Canadian-flagged fishing vessels.
