Sorry for making light of this. It is a very serious matter.
You can go to this website. I did it this morning. I ascertained exactly how much each vessel that is licenced to fish cod in Icelandic waters has for a quota and how much of that quota it has landed as of today's date.
We see no reason why in Canada we couldn't do the same. In Canada, however, you cannot get information below the level of the fleet sector. If the fleet sector has less than five vessels in it, you can't get it at all. When you can get the information, it is only after formally requesting it from the relevant person in the department—once you've identified that person—followed by lengthy time periods waiting for information to be compiled and cleaned of any reference to the vessel- or fisher-identifying feature. The Fisheries Act needs to require the timely disclosure of information, both on the science on which the fishery is based, and on the fishing activities and management actions that ensue.
Thank you very much for the opportunity to present here today.
