Fisheries committee  Thanks, and I'll share my time with Mr. Morrissey. I just want to pick up on a point that was raised earlier by Mr. Calkins regarding the capacity issue at our small craft harbours. I know it depends on what fishery we're talking about as far as what's going on with the consol

Fisheries committee  Is that what's supposed to happen?

Fisheries committee  Okay, thanks. I'll hand it over to Mr. Morrissey.

Fisheries committee  At the same time that other pressures have increased on the small craft harbours budget, with respect to dredging in and of itself, has there been an increase in the cost of getting environmental assessments done and the requirements and obligations on small craft harbours to dea

Fisheries committee  You mentioned how climate change impacts the dredging aspect and increases the need for dredging when you have more fill. Currents are changing, and the water temperature affects all of these things due to climate change. Can you talk a little bit about how you see that impactin

Fisheries committee  Would you be able to provide the committee with that information ?

Fisheries committee  Thank you. At the same time that the percentage of small craft harbours in fair or better condition has increased, from 2011 to 2018, you say there has been no increase in the A-base funding. I assume that it's because of the one-time B-base funding increases that those improvem

Fisheries committee  At the same time when those improvements to the state of repair have been made, we've seen huge challenges of increasing boat sizes, especially where I'm from, southwestern Nova Scotia, because of how well the fishery is doing. Is it fair to assume that if we've been dealing wit

Fisheries committee  I want to ask you about the issue of dredging. My understanding is that basically the small craft harbour budget, in total, is for wharves and breakwaters, keeping things in a good state of repair, dealing with capacity, but also dealing with dredging. From your perspective, wou

Fisheries committee  When you talk about emergency situations, in Atlantic Canada in particular there are only a couple of companies, I think, that do the dredging work. If one company is working on a project that may be taking all summer, leading up to the next fishing season or whatever the case ma

Fisheries committee  Thank you.
