Bob Zimmer at the Fisheries and Oceans Committee

Thanks, Chair.

Thank you, everybody. I'll be quick. This motion was tabled originally on December 14, 2021

That pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) the committee undertake a study examining the scope and effects of illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing (IUU) on Canada's fisheries resources and the degradation of those resources caused by illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing;

that the committee receive witness testimony from the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans, Minister of National Defence, officials from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans and Department of National Defence and Canadians impacted by IUU fishing;

that the committee allot no fewer than eight two-hour meetings to receive said testimony;

that the committee also accept written briefs from individuals or organizations who wish to submit input; and

that the committee submit its findings with recommendations in a report to the House.

That's my motion.

Thank you.
