Fisheries committee  There's no quick response. You can take them under UNFA. There could be a dispute under NAFO in the new convention and that could lead to UNFA, but you can't just send a gunboat out to do something on very quick actions. Certainly that has happened in the past, as we are aware, b

Fisheries committee  We'll have people there. We've been running those conferences in conjunction with others, and we have participated from the start. Quite frankly, though, that's not quite related to what's going on in that. It's more to share information on how countries are running their own obs

Fisheries committee  They're a coastal state. So are France and Greenland. That applies to all.

Fisheries committee  That's correct.

Fisheries committee  No, that is not it; it is another document. It is available on the NAFO Website. This document looks like it. It is something that we negotiated two years back.

Fisheries committee  Yes. It costs approximately $30 million. That represents the expenditures of the Government of Canada in order to be certain that we are in compliance with the regulations and that we can project and establish the catch.

Fisheries committee  The “certain circumstances” are clear. They include misreporting of a catch, and fishing directly for species subject to moratoriums. Those are two clear ones. There are also provisions for those doing “directed fishing for stocks or species after the date on which the contract

Fisheries committee  That's correct.

Fisheries committee  Generally they'd have an idea of the captain. Obviously these vessels have been in the NAFO regulatory area for years, so they know the captain. I'm not sure they'd know all the crew members. Because fishery officers boarding a vessel on the high seas are boarding under the flag

Fisheries committee  I think it's fair. There's been some concern raised about the possibility of NAFO making decisions relevant to completely Canadian stocks like those in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. I don't think that's something people need to be concerned about. Clearly, when we're dealing with som

Fisheries committee  That's correct. I think we have two now. The Cowley came in with a crew, and then the Cyngnus was able to make that inspection.

Fisheries committee  That's correct.

Fisheries committee  No. The other one came from another contracting party, once while the Faroese were there. I've forgotten who.... At one point last summer we had five patrol vessels, and I can't remember if it was Russian or.... One was Russian, we believe--one Russian, one EU, and three Canadian

Fisheries committee  We are not spending that amount on aerial surveillance. That's more or less what it costs us for the whole package. The air surveillance would not be a huge part of that. It's significant, but it's not that amount. The EU does not have air surveillance because they don't have any

Fisheries committee  I don't think I have those data. I know that the measures came into place in 2007. From 2005, the total citations were 29 in 2005, 21 in 2006, 11 in 2007, and 8 in 2008. I would point out as well that we have a lot more rules than we did. Over that period of time, we made more r
