Natural Resources committee  I would. I can't quote the section. I don't have it right here in front of me. We looked at the legislation they were using when offshore oil and gas was developed. If we're talking about applying that same language to offshore wind, basically if a fin or propellor flies off a wi

Natural Resources committee  I would hope it would be integrated into the legislation now that the proponent should put that money up in case something like this developed or we became aware of it six, seven or eight years down the road.

Natural Resources committee  Excuse me, sir. To clarify, do you mean written submissions to this committee?

Natural Resources committee  Yes, sir, we will. We're active with the Impact Assessment Agency. We're hoping the recommendations from the Impact Assessment Agency and the regional assessment will be enshrined in this legislation.

Natural Resources committee  Well, it's a 450- or 500-year-old fishery that's been feeding people in Canada and around the world. They're quite nervous about having thousands of tonnes of concrete or whatever else for this construction placed in these shallow waters—and it has been mentioned before that this

Natural Resources committee  We are looking forward to being able to work together on that very subject. We're working now with DFO on marine protected areas. We bring our concerns and our comments forward. We're heard. We don't know that we're always listened to, and the decisions don't always align with wh

Natural Resources committee  I'd say thousands upon thousands and tens of thousands.

Natural Resources committee  Yes, sir.

Natural Resources committee  I don't think he will be able to. I'm not a biologist by any means, sir, but it takes a lobster seven years to go from a larval stage or an egg until it's able to be harvested at a legal size. Michael or anyone in that situation might not see the ramifications of that for seven

Natural Resources committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. I would like to begin by thanking the committee for inviting the Brazil Rock 33/34 Lobster Association to provide our testimony on Bill C-49. The membership of Brazil Rock represents thousands of hard-working families plying the waters of lobster fishing a

Fisheries committee  Presently in LFAs 33 and 34, there are tracers that identify the rope that's unique to LFAs 33 and 34. I know that is being done here. I am not sure if that is being performed in the U.S.

Fisheries committee  My short answer to that is it would be devastating.

Fisheries committee  They were nothing like that. They were all ideal summer conditions with the biologists aboard. We tried to pick the days they could do their work, but we won't see those conditions in the fall. That's another concern.

Fisheries committee  I've been quoted a figure of approximately $4,000 for one end of the ropeless gear.

Fisheries committee  Yes, sir, that is correct. That is the potential between that and the equipment required to auto-coil the rope when it comes back on board to repair it so it can be reset.
