Fisheries committee I should clarify. We don't go out and regulate and inspect those vessels. We regulate the construction of them. With larger vessels, we go out and check on them; we monitor them. Luc, I'll let you give some of the precision about vessel length.
March 22nd, 2018Committee meeting
Jane Weldon
Fisheries committee Just on your first point, I don't believe I have any written records of having put specific statements on paper with respect to vessel length. I don't have that in my recollection.
March 22nd, 2018Committee meeting
Jane Weldon
Fisheries committee As I said, I don't think I have any records that would specify dates or natures of conversations.
March 22nd, 2018Committee meeting
Jane Weldon
Fisheries committee There's nothing in writing that I can recall. With regard to the construction or the putting in place of changes to vessels, they are not required to report to Transport Canada.

Fisheries committee That's correct. It's their judgment.

Fisheries committee Only if it's going to have an impact on stability.
March 22nd, 2018Committee meeting
Jane Weldon
Fisheries committee Any reasonable fisher would. If you are adding weight or changing your vessel, it's going to make a stability difference. It's something inherently you would be aware of, whereas something like adding a railing might not be significant. The staff are around in the ports all the
March 22nd, 2018Committee meeting
Jane Weldon
Fisheries committee We're not monitoring ports, we're monitoring vessels. In terms of inspectors, I have at the current moment 367.
March 22nd, 2018Committee meeting
Jane Weldon
Fisheries committee No, that's for the country.
March 22nd, 2018Committee meeting
Jane Weldon
Fisheries committee It's difficult to say. It would depend very much on the size of the port. I should highlight that Transport Canada's major role is with larger vessels. Many of the small ports are using speedboats and things, which are not something we have a responsibility to regulate.

Fisheries committee Certain vessels of certain sizes, yes.
