Transport committee  Beyond that, I don't.

Transport committee  As much as the moratorium is focused on what is known today as PNCIMA, the Pacific North Coast Integrated Management Area, that's roughly two-thirds of the B.C. coast. British Columbians in general are very supportive of this bill, not just those of us who live on the coast, but

Transport committee  There's nothing I can point to.

Transport committee  As Caitlyn mentioned, there is no separation between land and sea; it is one. The land provides for the sea. The nutrient base is coming from the land through the myriad of streams that exist there and feed the marine environment. That, in turn, returns with the fish and the salm

Transport committee  I realize it's Halloween, but I would not like to imagine a more frightening scenario. I'm a lifelong mariner. I was a commercial fisherman for over three decades. I have seen oil spills of varying sizes. I have seen large tar balls, as they're termed, which is bunker C, on beach

Transport committee  All I can say to that is that most of those communities that are presently receiving are in the midst of trying to “un-receive”. They have been wanting to get off diesel and fuels for years but have not yet had the opportunity or the resources to take them to that stage. We're h

Transport committee  I am very familiar with the Queen of the North and the incident that took place there. This is a vessel, a ferry, part of BC Ferries' fleet, that essentially found itself aground. This was through human error. This is not due to technology or anything else. This is just the falli

Transport committee  Yes.

Transport committee  From our perspective, we believe all foreign vessels travelling through Canadian waters should be under Canadian pilotage authority. We were somewhat taken aback to find out that the Nathan E. Stewart was exempted from having to carry a pilot. In future, we believe that should be

Transport committee  This year, it's very poor. In the end, we managed escapement. However, the ocean conditions have been suspect for the last cycle. As such, it was a relatively poor year. The Nass had an average return, and the Skeena had a below to average return in the end. The runs were late

Transport committee  First of all, I have very little knowledge of CanaPux. I understand what it is and I know the impetus behind it, but we've had little or no information brought forward to us with regard to what CN is planning. This is in part the first that I've heard that they're looking at tran

Transport committee  My understanding is that this actually exceeds what most of the communities would be receiving. There have been several instances in which some communities have received shipments of that nature and a little bit more than that, but it's not a consistent delivery. Beyond that, I h

Transport committee  No, and I've seen no numbers with regard to that either.

Transport committee  Both of the refinery proposals that are being looked at for the north coast are in their infancy, and as such they are proposals and not much else at the moment.

Transport committee  Thank you very much, Madam Chair. Again, I would suggest that you read carefully the portions that have been put in here in terms of the testimonies of the people who provided the recipes. It's their lives; it's their home. Thank you.
