Scientists have repeatedly said over the past three decades that it is impossible to predict the effects of either increasing or decreasing the size of a seal population on exploited fish stocks and fishery yields from them.

The EU is aiming to ensure sustainable long-term fishing yields where possible for all stocks by the end of 2015, and at the latest by 2020. This is known as the maximum sustainable yield (MSY)*.

Firstly, we thought that ITQs would improve the economic performance of fisheries mainly by encouraging fishermen to rationalize the fleet by buying up quotas from each other and thereby voluntarily reducing the fleet, reducing the total cost of fishing, and thereby improving the net return from the fishery as a whole.

We suggested that the committee should look in particular at the changes in the groundfish trawl industry since 1995 which show how a fishery can go from a poor record of conservation and dismal economic performance to one characterized by dramatically improved accounting for catch and bycatch, better science, improved stewardship and much better economic returns that have benefited vessel owners, crews and communities.

Group No. 1 Mr. Bernier (Bonaventure Gaspé Îles-de-la-Madeleine Pabok), seconded by Mr. Godin (Châteauguay), moved Motion No. 1, That Bill C-27 be amended by adding after line 10 on page 3 the following new clause: ``1.1 The Act is amended by adding the following after section 2: 2.1 The objectives of this Act include the implementation of the Agreement, in accordance with which, in order to conserve and manage straddling fish stocks and highly migratory fish stocks, coastal States and States fishing on the high seas shall, in giving effect to their duty to cooperate in accordance with the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea of 10 December 1982: (a) adopt measures to ensure long-term sustainability of straddling fish stocks and ...[+++]highly migratory fish stocks and promote the objective of their optimum utilization; (b) ensure that such measures are based on the best scientific evidence available and are designed to maintain or restore stocks at levels capable of producing maximum sustainable yield, as qualified by relevant environmental and economic factors, including the special requirements of developing States, and taking into account fishing patterns, the interdependence of stocks and any generally recommended international minimum standards, whether subregional, regional or global; (c) apply the precautionary approach in accordance with article 6 of the Agreement; (d) assess the impacts of fishing, other human activities and environmental factors on target stocks and species belonging to the same ecosystem or dependent upon or associated with the target stocks; (e) adopt, where necessary, conservation and management measures for species belonging to the same ecosystem or dependent on or associated with the target stocks, with a view to maintaining or restoring populations of such species above levels at which their reproduction may become seriously threatened; (f) minimize pollution, waste, discards, catch by lost or abandoned gear, catch of non-ta ...
