Thank you, Mr. Chair.
To start, I'd like to read a notice of motion I'm going to bring forward at a later date:
That the Standing Committee on Fisheries and Oceans undertake a study of the impacts of the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) for the fishing industry in Newfoundland and Labrador, including the repercussions of the elimination of Minimum Processing Requirements, and that the Committee report to the House on its findings.
Now I have two quick questions.
First off, how would the eventual removal of minimum processing requirements impact the processing jobs in Newfoundland and Labrador and Quebec? That's the first question.
The second question follows on a question that Robert asked. Just so there's clarity here, in the past Canada has restricted access to Canadian ports of EU ships that have been cited for illegal fishing outside the 200-mile limit. Under the CETA deal, when this comes into effect, will that no longer be allowed to happen? Will Canada no longer be able to block EU vessels, pirate vessels, from access to Canadian ports?
