Fisheries committee  Thank you, Madam Chair. I'll indicate now that I'm going to split my time with MP Finnigan. Welcome, Minister. Welcome, officials. It's my first opportunity to ask a question, I guess, at this committee. I was not here earlier, but in 2017, this committee undertook a comprehen

Fisheries committee  Madam Chair, I have one further question if I have time. Proposed subsection 34.2(3) indicates that standards and codes of practice may be developed collaboratively with the provinces, indigenous governing bodies, and other stakeholders. What do you envision this collaboration

Fisheries committee  Thank you.

Fisheries committee  All right, I have just a brief question. I'm not sure how long the answer will take. It's a direct question. Have sections 32, 35, and 36 been re-examined for the purpose of environmental assessment triggers?

Fisheries committee  I asked that question specifically because I sit on the environment committee.

Fisheries committee  Thank you, Madam Chair. I have a couple of questions for Duncan and Tasha. First let me say that it's nice to hear from you today, Duncan, talking about the financial challenges of acquiring licences or doing the things you need to do to stay in a fishery. To start a fishery a

Fisheries committee  Tasha, do you want to comment on that question as well?

Fisheries committee  Thank you. I'm trying to get a sense of how to do this legislation properly and correctly so as to have real impact for you people on the Pacific coast. I'm trying to get a sense of what this committee should recommend to the minister or DFO going forward. That's where I am; I

Fisheries committee  Madam Chair, I would ask that clause 9 stand.

Fisheries committee  Mr. Miller, it's been pointed out by my staff that there's a discrepancy in the text, and we need to get that corrected before we bring the clause forward. (Clause 9 allowed to stand) (Clauses 10 to 19 inclusive agreed to on division) (On Clause 20)

Fisheries committee  Madam Chair, we're suggesting the removal of paragraph (e). Other than that, we move the amendment as presented. This is in keeping with amendments that we put forward for Bill C-69. (Amendment agreed to [See Minutes of Proceedings])

Fisheries committee  Before we deal with LIB-1.1, I'd like to ask permission to propose subsection 6(3), an amendment to this LIB-1.1. As a proposed subsection, 6.3 reads: The major fish stock referred to in sections 6.1 and 6.2 are to be prescribed by regulations. That would be incorporated i

Fisheries committee  There's one correction in the French version. Pat is going to make a comment on that.

Fisheries committee  Overall, if you look at the total amendment, it's primarily aimed at dealing with issues around stock conservation and endangered stocks. I'll use for example the cod fishery in Newfoundland and Labrador right now. It was a major decline in 2018. Obviously, the minister has to ta

Fisheries committee  I think probably I could turn to the officials and ask them to comment on some of that.
