SUPPLEMENTARY OPINION
Ms. Caroline Desbiens – Bloc Québécois
Further to the agreement of Committee members to adopt the report on Foreign Ownership and Corporate Concentration of Fishing Licenses and Quota, we would like to suggest that Recommendation 17 of the report be rephrased as follows: “That DFO call for expressions of interest from a limited number of communities willing to engage in an exploratory pilot program to test the viability of a community-based licence. The community-specific pilot project should target a specific area and a specific species by every type of fishing that is of interest to a particular coastal sector, within a previously established time frame.”
