Fisheries committee  I think we will acknowledge that and we have a management plan that we review for each of our MPAs, and if the science tells us that the management plan should be adjusted, we will adjust the management plan.

Fisheries committee  It's not salted water, so it's not marine.

Fisheries committee  From a fisheries management perspective, it's different. What we're talking about here is the mandate of the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans in regard to the protection and management of oceans, not inland waters.

For national marine conservation areas, under Parks Canada legislation, there's no take, except for indigenous harvesting or fishing, and no oil and gas activi

Fisheries committee  No take will be probably between 2% and 3%, so one-third of the 7.75% is no take, because the different tools that we use are used for different purposes or meaning. For example, for fisheries closures, the conservation objectives are not at the same level as the conservation mea

Fisheries committee  It's a guess. It's the best guess I can give you.

Fisheries committee  On the minimum standards, the minister, when he was in Malta, announced the composition of a panel to make some recommendations to him on minimum standards. This panel will be constituted and announced shortly. The role of the panel will be to provide some advice to the minister

Fisheries committee  Do we have one? We probably have 10.

Fisheries committee  In establishing protection areas, the way we incorporate sustainability in the area is to find a balance between the conservation objective, the economic activity, the ecological component of the ecosystem, and the social use of the area. When we make a recommendation at DFO to c
