Fisheries committee  My goodness, where do I start? As an Albertan, I guess I'll go with Ms. Jarvis Redelback. Can you give us any indication of what the value of those assets would be in today's dollars, if we were to sum up the cost of building all of the reservoirs, all of the irrigation channels

Fisheries committee  That's the value of the infrastructure that's at risk if zebra and quagga mussels get in there. Can you give this committee any indication of how exactly the potash chemical treatment process would work, and where it would need to be applied in order to be effective?

Fisheries committee  First of all, Mr. Chair, you have to make a ruling. I don't want to tell you how to do your job, but we should have a ruling from you as to whether or not the motion is in order. If it is in order, then Mr. Doherty's motion to adjourn the debate on the motion Mr. Rogers just move

Fisheries committee  Because he's moved the motion, we are now debating his motion. If it's in order, then we either have to start debating his motion or we have to table it or somehow adjudicate that motion.

Fisheries committee  Mr. Chair, normally any motion that wouldn't require 48 hours' notice must be germane and relevant to the study that is already going on.

Fisheries committee  The motion being proposed by Mr. Rogers is for a separate and independent study that I do not see has a direct relationship to, nor is a subset of, the current study. I think that given the normal, friendly discourse at this committee, there shouldn't be a problem in giving the c

Fisheries committee  I have another question, and it's a bit philosophical. What I'm hearing from you folks is that the logical and common sense approach is to make sure that we utilize the best practices that we already know about for prevention, which I think is what we're trying to do, and to make

Fisheries committee  To anybody who wishes to answer the question or address this, is any country or any region of the world using a particular model to control, prevent or destroy aquatic invasive species that we have examined thoroughly and could be gaining information and knowhow from, but we are

Fisheries committee  Go ahead, Mr. Bouzan.

Fisheries committee  Given the fact that I'm hearing that the geographic range and the population changes for lobster and crab in Atlantic Canada might be beneficial in the short term or the long term, might require some adjustments in fishing areas or on where larger boats are used, and so on, has a

Fisheries committee  Is it a concern for the fishermen?

Fisheries committee  Do I have any time left, Mr. Chair?

Fisheries committee  I'm going to give it to Mel.

Fisheries committee  Thank you. I'd like to follow up on the last question I asked, which dealt with the maturity rate in warm water. Could an adjustment of the carapace size and the capture size address the concerns, if the lobster maturity factor is indeed a question? If they're maturing faster in

Fisheries committee  Thank you very much. I'm going to ask this of some of the fishermen at the table. Is there any talk in the community about the exposure that the market to China currently has on the products that are harvested on the east coast of Canada?
