Thank you, Mr. Arnold.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
To Mr. Vigneault, the European Union has a very strong anti-dumping policy. In Canada, as you're no doubt aware or you should be suspicious of, when fish harvesters go over their quota a little bit, they're basically being forced to discard that catch, and it's probably not even being recorded in logbooks for fear of being charged for minuscule amounts of quota overrun.
Why is that not addressed in the Fisheries Act? You don't know how much discarding is happening because of this. You know the charges that have been laid, but fishermen can't even share the extra catch they have with someone else who has a legitimate quota. They can't even bring it in and donate it to a food bank or have it simply taken off their next year's quota.
Why do we have this policy that's failing fisheries management and harvesters?
