Fisheries committee  Thank you. We make clear in all of our reports that we do select products that are at higher risk of fraud, either because they're more desirable, harder to find, or we know there are higher instances of fraud there. We make that clear in all of our studies and explain the methodology that we select those species specifically for that.

Fisheries committee  Thank you. Yes, it is a huge issue. It's very confusing. Right now, we talk about mislabelled products, but even correctly labelled products don't really tell you that much. Our current country-of-origin requirements just require that a product be labelled with the last place of transformation.

Fisheries committee  Thank you very much for the opportunity to appear today to talk about the important issue of seafood traceability. Oceana Canada is part of the largest international advocacy group dedicated solely to ocean conservation in the world. We work with all stakeholders to return Canada’s formerly vibrant oceans to health and abundance.
