Fisheries committee  We are finalizing the development of that. The traffic light is to identify sites. When it's red, deposits should no longer be allowed. When it's green, it's authorized. When it's yellow, we should be more careful. Now we are consulting with partners and stakeholders on that, w

Fisheries committee  I think Mr. Thomson may have....

Fisheries committee  Mr. Thomson, do you want to answer this one?

Fisheries committee  This is very difficult to answer. We will certainly have more scrutiny than we did at the time, but that doesn't mean the conclusion would be different. So more scrutiny, more consultation before issuing some siting licences.... I don't know if Mr. Thomson can add to that, if he

Fisheries committee  I will respond to what Mr. Moore mentioned to the Senate, that if you ask a scientist a question, the response will be no, there is never enough science.

It's not based on the recommendations that come from any group,

Fisheries committee  We just finished consultation on two new critical habitats. I'll just try to find the exact name of where they are.

Fisheries committee  In terms of what I explained earlier, I realize the question on if and when was tricky, because the way you explain it is the right way. I told about the access the minister has to make a recommendation. It's not for the minister to decide if there should be an emergency order is

Fisheries committee  No, it's a matter of “when”.

Fisheries committee  I think so.

Fisheries committee  I don't have that information. I think the hatchery program also compensates for the low returns and may produce other sorts of fish when the returns are higher, so it's not a black and white answer that we can provide.

Fisheries committee  It's not a question of days. It's a question of weeks or a maximum of a few months to have the exact details that could be communicated. At the moment, unless the minister communicates it, it's not something that I can share with you.
