We looked very hard at the changes the previous government made to the Fisheries Act to understand what it was trying to achieve, to keep the things that obviously made sense, and to make adjustments where we saw problems. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5478900\" data-originallang=\"en\">One problem came up from the previous legislation, and I wanted to hear the member's comments on this. The previous legislation provided protection to fish that were important commercially, to the recreational fishery, and to first nations. However, it left open the possibility that if something happened and a stock collapsed and was no longer a viable piece of any of those three activities, it would in fact no longer be protected. It would actually fall off the table. Perhaps that is what we would have seen, for instance, with northern cod, as a good example.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5478901\" data-originallang=\"en\">Can the hon. member comment on a change he would make to try to prevent that scenario from playing out?</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5478899\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je suis membre du comit\u00e9 permanent. Nous avons examin\u00e9 \u00e0 fond les modifications apport\u00e9es par le gouvernement pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent \u00e0 la Loi sur les p\u00eaches afin de comprendre ce qu'il tentait d'accomplir, de garder les \u00e9l\u00e9ments qui, de toute \u00e9vidence, \u00e9taient logiques et de faire des rajustements l\u00e0 o\u00f9 nous avons constat\u00e9 des probl\u00e8mes.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5478900\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'aimerais conna\u00eetre l'opinion du d\u00e9put\u00e9 \u00e0 l'\u00e9gard de l'un des probl\u00e8mes d\u00e9coulant de la loi modifi\u00e9e par le gouvernement pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent. Cette derni\u00e8re pr\u00e9voit des mesures de protection pour les poissons qui sont importants pour la p\u00eache commerciale, pour la p\u00eache r\u00e9cr\u00e9ative et pour les Premi\u00e8res Nations. Toutefois, elle n'\u00e9carte pas la possibilit\u00e9 voulant que, si quelque chose arrivait et que les stocks d'une esp\u00e8ce s'effondraient de telle sorte qu'elle ne se pr\u00eate plus, de mani\u00e8re viable, \u00e0 l'une ou l'autre de ces trois activit\u00e9s, l'esp\u00e8ce en question ne serait alors plus prot\u00e9g\u00e9e. Elle serait en fait laiss\u00e9e de c\u00f4t\u00e9. Ce qu'on a vu dans le cas de la morue du Nord en est peut-\u00eatre un bon exemple.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5478901\" data-originallang=\"en\">Quelle modification le d\u00e9put\u00e9 sugg\u00e9rerait-il d'apporter \u00e0 la loi pour emp\u00eacher qu'un tel sc\u00e9nario se produise?</p>"
