        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5321059\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Avalon for his advice and for his insight into the fishery industry in his province of Newfoundland and Labrador. I have had the privilege to work with him. In fact, we met two fishers from his constituency who were in Ottawa last week. It is an opportunity for me to work with a colleague who is committed to the sustainable growth of the fishing industry in his province of Newfoundland and Labrador. There was a number of very innovative ideas of how we could improve the livelihood of the women and men who depended on that resource.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5321060\" data-originallang=\"en\">One of those elements for our government was incorporating the principle of owner/operator and fleet separation in the legislation, giving those long-standing policies force of law in Atlantic Canada and in Quebec. On the east coast of Canada, these policies have been part of the economic survival and economic future of coastal communities and those dependent on these resources. We want to ensure that the real ownership of these fishing licences remain in the hands of professional harvesters, professional fishers, not in the hands of some corporations that seek indirectly to do what they cannot do directly. We are very proud of that improvement. Again, we will work with colleagues who have ideas on how we can strengthen that.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5321061\" data-originallang=\"en\">Some colleagues from other parts of the country have talked to me about this policy and how it could in fact apply to their areas. We look forward to those conversations as well.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5321059\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je remercie mon coll\u00e8gue le d\u00e9put\u00e9 d'Avalon des recommandations et des r\u00e9flexions dont il nous fait part au sujet de l'industrie des p\u00eaches dans sa province, Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador. J'ai eu le privil\u00e8ge de travailler avec lui. D'ailleurs, nous avons rencontr\u00e9 deux p\u00eacheurs de sa circonscription qui \u00e9taient \u00e0 Ottawa la semaine derni\u00e8re. Ce dossier me donne l'occasion de travailler avec un coll\u00e8gue d\u00e9termin\u00e9 \u00e0 promouvoir le d\u00e9veloppement durable de l'industrie des p\u00eaches dans sa province, Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador. Des id\u00e9es novatrices ont \u00e9t\u00e9 propos\u00e9es pour aider les femmes et les hommes qui comptent sur les ressources halieutiques pour gagner leur vie.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5321060\" data-originallang=\"en\">Parmi les propositions avanc\u00e9es par le gouvernement, il y a l'inclusion dans la loi des politiques relatives aux propri\u00e9taires-exploitants et \u00e0 la s\u00e9paration des flottilles afin de donner force de loi \u00e0 ces politiques en vigueur depuis longtemps au Canada atlantique et au Qu\u00e9bec. Sur la c\u00f4te Est du Canada, ces politiques ont contribu\u00e9 \u00e0 assurer la survie et l'avenir \u00e9conomiques des collectivit\u00e9s c\u00f4ti\u00e8res et des intervenants tributaires des ressources halieutiques. Nous voulons que les v\u00e9ritables titulaires de ces permis de p\u00eache soient les p\u00eacheurs professionnels et non les soci\u00e9t\u00e9s qui cherchent \u00e0 faire indirectement ce qu'elles ne peuvent pas faire de fa\u00e7on directe. Nous sommes tr\u00e8s fiers de cette am\u00e9lioration. Encore une fois, nous allons travailler avec nos coll\u00e8gues qui ont des id\u00e9es \u00e0 proposer pour am\u00e9liorer la situation.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5321061\" data-originallang=\"en\">Certains coll\u00e8gues d'autres r\u00e9gions m'ont parl\u00e9 de cette politique et de la fa\u00e7on dont elle pourrait concr\u00e8tement s'appliquer \u00e0 leur r\u00e9gion. Nous esp\u00e9rons que nous aurons d'autres discussions de ce genre.</p>"
