Fisheries committee  I completely understand your question. The way the bill was constructed was intended to achieve your objective, but I appreciate your seeking additional clarity.

Fisheries committee  What's put in proposed section 42.02 is to define a scheme. An agreement has to be entered into with a proponent to create a habitat bank within a geographical area. The scheme that's put forward in the bill seeks to define that boundary. The agreements that we have in place have

Fisheries committee  You're correct. The service area is the only language that we would have to nest that out.

Fisheries committee  The definition...?

Fisheries committee  In Bill C-68, it's on page 31, and it's under “Definitions”, proposed section 42.01, and the “service area” definition is found there above proposed section 42.02. It's on page 31 of the bill.

Fisheries committee  That is correct. A conservation unit would be nested within a broader management zone. For Pacific salmon conservation units, designatable units are used to describe areas that specific populations or subpopulations use to spawn and reproduce. That is one unit of measure that cou

Fisheries committee  If the stocks that were impacted by the initial development used the Harrison, then that could be considered within the service area; but it's intended to tie it to the populations of fish that were impacted by the project and their geographical range.

Fisheries committee  Thank you. I also, for the record, wish to apologize for the last meeting when I said there was no definition of “service area.” There is a definition of service area in the bill. That definition is: service area means the geographical area that encompasses a fish habitat bank

In the case of managing flows, these are about managing ecosystems to sustain fisheries and minimize the impacts and threats to those populations. I think the

Fisheries committee  The legislative authorities in this section are about managing fishery and the impacts to fisheries from fishing. The sections that we referred to earlier are about managing the impacts of any industrial and human development activity on those populations. They have different int

Fisheries committee  I would just say that it's very much intended to achieve the goal of conservation of fisheries.

Fisheries committee  Section 35, which is the former, “serious harm” prohibition to “commercial, recreational or Aboriginal fishery,” is amended here to refer to, “all stocks” or “all fish.” Mark is referring to the subset, which are the main fish stocks, which will be prescribed in regulations. The

Fisheries committee  Currently, the only report is the annual report to Parliament, which is required under this act. It is primarily descriptive and statistical in nature. It doesn't delineate the details outlined in new proposed paragraphs 92(2)(a), (b), (c), and (d). It does cover (d), but it does

Fisheries committee  This is only referring to indigenous knowledge, so that's all I can speak to.

Fisheries committee  With respect to the protection of indigenous knowledge is what's being put forward and that's what we are seeking to respect; that is what is moved.
