I know Canada is involved in that fishery. I understand that last year at CITES, it was a focus of their attention, and there was an attempt made to list bluefin tuna. As I understand it, Canada didn't support that initiative. So I was wondering if you could tell us Canada's position with respect to CITES. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2245870\" data-originallang=\"en\">But then more recently, ICCAT, the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas, had its meetings, which finished not many days ago. I wonder if you could update us on what the developments were at that meeting and on Canada's position in terms of whether we were disappointed with the results. Could you also tell us how the industry is doing in Canada? </p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2245866\" data-originallang=\"en\">Merci, monsieur le pr\u00e9sident.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2245867\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je remercie la ministre et ses collaborateurs de leur pr\u00e9sence au comit\u00e9. Je voudrais \u00e9galement vous remercier, madame la ministre, de vous montrer dispos\u00e9e \u00e0 r\u00e9pondre \u00e0 des questions portant sur toutes sortes de sujets, \u00e0 part l'aquaculture.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2245868\" data-originallang=\"en\">Permettez-moi de commencer par une question qui int\u00e9resse surtout la c\u00f4te est. Je passerai ensuite \u00e0 des questions concernant la c\u00f4te ouest.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2245869\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ces derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es, mais surtout ces derniers mois, le thon ou, du moins, le thon rouge de l'Atlantique a retenu l'attention du monde des p\u00eaches. Je sais que le Canada participe \u00e0 cette p\u00eache. Je crois savoir que le thon a fait l'objet de discussions l'ann\u00e9e derni\u00e8re \u00e0 la conf\u00e9rence de la CITES et qu'il a \u00e9t\u00e9 question de l'inscrire rouge sur la liste des esp\u00e8ces menac\u00e9es. Si j'ai bien compris, le Canada n'a pas appuy\u00e9 cette initiative. Pouvez-vous nous dire quelle est la position du Canada \u00e0 cet \u00e9gard?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2245870\" data-originallang=\"en\">Plus r\u00e9cemment, la CICTA \u2014 il s'agit de la Commission internationale pour la conservation des thonid\u00e9s de l'Atlantique \u2014 a tenu des r\u00e9unions, qui se sont termin\u00e9es il n'y a pas si longtemps. Pouvez-vous faire le point sur ce qui s'est pass\u00e9 \u00e0 ces r\u00e9unions, sur la position du Canada et sur la question de savoir si nous avons \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9\u00e7us par les r\u00e9sultats? Pouvez-vous nous dire aussi o\u00f9 en est l'industrie au Canada?</p>"
