Refine by MP, party, committee, province, or result type.
Fisheries committee I would only add that we have a joint steering committee where first nations are involved. As was talked about earlier, we've had very high levels of communications activity on this file.

Fisheries committee Rebecca, I think you have those numbers at your fingertips.
June 9th, 2020Committee meeting
Timothy Sargent
Fisheries committee Sorry. We do expect better performance this year. We have a lot more measures in place. Even last year, once we were able to set up a way to transport some fish, we did see some better numbers. The reality is that we aren't really going to know until the fish show up and we ca

Fisheries committee It is a number one priority for us to ensure that indigenous peoples are involved in the Big Bar remediation efforts. We've made sure that they're involved in the incident command room, for instance, and when the contracts were put together, it was very important to us that they

Fisheries committee Just to add to that, as the minister said, we're doing enhancement, habitat restoration and fisheries management measures that we instituted last summer, and we're looking at more this summer. We're working very hard on all fronts. However, the reality is we won't know what the

Fisheries committee That's a hugely complicated exercise. We're doing a lot of studies right now to understand the impact of this on fish stocks. This is a particularly difficult place for us, just given its very remote location. It is not an area where anyone is around during a good part of the ye

Fisheries committee Actually, I'll pass it on to our chief financial officer, Jen O'Donoughue, who has been following this situation closely.

June 9th, 2020Committee meeting
Timothy Sargent
Fisheries committee It's always tricky to predict the water levels. It depends on so many factors. We're just going to be ready for whatever happens. We have the natural fishway and we have the Whooshh system, and we're ready to use some of the other procedures that we used last summer, such as usin
June 9th, 2020Committee meeting
Timothy Sargent
Fisheries committee I think, in turn, I'll pass that one to Rebecca, who has that at her fingertips.
June 9th, 2020Committee meeting
Timothy Sargent
Fisheries committee That's correct, Minister. I don't have anything to add.
June 9th, 2020Committee meeting
Timothy Sargent
Fisheries committee I'll just say that particularly at this time of year, the water is quite muddy, and it's often hard to detect the fish. We do have a fish wheel there, though, that's helping with that. The Whooshh system is installed. It's ready to go when we start to see significant numbers of f
