Thank you, Mr. Chair, and again, thank you to our officials for being here for round two.
The minister spoke about marine protected areas in his opening remarks. Supplementary estimates include only $870,000 to protect Canada's nature parks and wild spaces. Budget 2018 talked about $21 million in funding, so I'm wondering where the rest of the money is and what is the plan for that money. Also, what specifically is the plan for the $870,000?

Thank you for that.
You gave us seven actions. Were they in order of priority? If they weren't, could you submit to the committee the order of priority of those actions, i.e., one through seven? That would be helpful. That's just a directive or a suggestion.
Also, one of the things you talked about was a noisier ocean. The government is also looking at increasing tanker traffic in the Salish Sea. If the Trans Mountain project goes through, we would see an increase of oil tanker traffic in that area.
The government is also looking at marine protected areas. The final report for the national advisory panel on marine protected area standards came out in September. One of the protections they talk about is prohibiting industrial activities such as “oil and gas exploration and exploitation, mining, dumping, and bottom trawling”. That's in this report. I'm not sure if you have had a chance to read that one.
My question is really more about MPAs and whale habitat. It seems that three specific suggestions have been made about food, noise and pollutants. What about critical whale habitat in MPAs? Is there a role they can play?

How much time do I have? Two minutes.
We've heard a lot during our field trips and so on about the different approaches to the MPAs: areas of interest, the development, and the consultation. Why would there be such a difference even within some of the areas in the Maritimes: the gulf region versus the Atlantic region? From the harvesters we spoke to, there seemed to be a notable difference in the approach that was taken. Can you explain that, and is there an effort to, I guess, equalize the approach that's taken in the different regions?

Thanks, Mr. Chair; and thanks to our departmental officials for being here again with us this week.
I think last week we were talking about fisheries management, tools, and practices. In that vein, about best fishery management tools, to ensure commercial fisheries flourish, I wonder if you could talk about or give some real examples on each of the three coasts about which management practices work best. In your opinion, if the goal is a flourishing fishery, what on the west coast, the Arctic, and the east coast work the best?

I wonder if we've learned a few things along the way as we've gone through these processes. When our committee went up to the Far North, for instance, we went to Paulatuk, because we wanted to talk to the community, only to find out that it was the time of year when they were out on the land, so we missed connecting with people. We've heard similar stories. In fact, my colleague, Ms. Jordan, was mentioning that there have been times when we wanted to talk to them, but they were out. They were doing things. Is this one of the things we've learned: to choose the appropriate time when the people are actually available?

I think there's at least a perception that the approach to consultation is a “once and done” thing, whereas perhaps an ongoing dialogue is going to be more important. Similarly, it seems that it's not necessarily going to be just about buying a box of doughnuts and some coffee, opening the hall, and seeing who shows up. It's going to be about making more of an effort to proactively go out and speak to the people who are actually trying to make a living. The NGOs have an agenda—good for them. That's why the process is there, but it's the balance that counts. It's hearing the people—and in some cases chasing them down at the right time when we can actually get to them—that will give us a fuller sense of what is going on out there. It will also contribute to the whole issue of fair process so that more people will understand that they've had their say. Even if they don't like the outcome totally, or at all, they at least know that somebody has gone out and looked for their opinion.
That was just a comment, not a question.

Okay. I ask because in part of this strategy paper, consultation and collaboration are mentioned, and it states that the success of the MPAs “depends on how well various interests are able to work together” and that “ensuring participation of those with an interest or role to play in marine protected areas planning and management will be established to improve collaboration and co-operation amongst partners.”
I was just going through a briefing document we received earlier today from the Groundfish Enterprise Allocation Council and the Canadian Association of Prawn Producers. They are referring to an area in the Scotia-Fundy region. The “haddock box” is the specific area they're referring to. The briefing says, “Although industry has generally accepted this closure for the last three decades, everyone knew it was not achieving the outcomes for which it was established—namely the protection of juvenile haddock to promote the recovery of the 4VW haddock stock.” It goes on to explain that it “was clearly an unsubstantiated and false claim” that it's protecting the area and that it “continue[s] to be inconsistent with science on the matter” and yet is being considered as one of those other areas of protection. Can you explain that?

I want to go back to your presentation this morning. You said that since 2015, we've moved from 0.9% protection of our coastal marine areas to 7.75% as of December 21. A lot of that increase in protected areas was through the incorporation of these other protected areas, was it not?
These aren't new creations of this government. They were simply adaptations from existing protection that was out there. Is that a correct statement?

Thanks, Mr. Chair, and again, thank you to our departmental officials for being here with us and providing input on this important study.
I want to go back to protection targets for a minute. In 1992—that's over 25 years ago—the international community set the goal of 10% by 2020. There has been some question as to whether that's been science-based or based on science, setting aside 10% of the world's oceans.
I would argue right now that in the last 25 years, we've had more pressures on our oceans, not fewer, and we've had more of a problem with ocean acidification and other habitat loss and pollution issues. My colleague mentioned plastics and so on, so we have more problems, and maybe with management and other techniques there have been some successes.
Overall, would it not be safe to say that the best available science now says we need to protect more than 10% of our oceans to see our oceans flourish or be conserved into the future?

What percentage of the 7.75% satisfies criterion 5 and is in no-take zones? The question is for both of you.
Criterion 5 refers to ecological components that must be effectively conserved with no human activities that are incompatible with conservation objectives occurring or likely to occur in the foreseeable future.

Well, yes, but there are some that allow oil and gas and other human activities that are harmful, so they can't all be satisfying that criteria. I was wondering what percentage is strictly that. For instance, there are some areas that are no-take, in terms of fishing or any other activity—and I would assume there are no other human activities, which are defined as harmful, that are allowed in those no-take zones, but they constitute a very small percentage of our MPAs.
I'm wondering if you could shed some light on whether it's five, 10, 20—

Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you for mentioning the area that wasn't successful.
Thanks to the witnesses for being here.
Could we ask the DFO officials to provide the information on that—I'm sorry, I didn't catch the name of the one you mentioned that wasn't successful—so that we can look at that information, too, as part of our study? I think it's equally beneficial to look at what worked and what didn't work.
I'm just curious. How long a process was the development of the Eastport MPA from the time the fishermen started thinking that they should do something to the time that the MPA was actually implemented?

Okay. It's just because part of what we're studying is the accelerated process that we seem to be looking at now and whether it is going to be as workable, whether it is going to be as successful.
Another thing we're looking at in this study is what goals were established to begin with and how they are measured in that process. Maybe I can get a response from both you and Mr. Feltham.

Can you give me any indication—both of you or all three of you—as to the amount of area that was closed or is an MPA, in percentages, comparable to the area that may be benefiting from it? You've mentioned that you believe there are benefits further south as the drift happens. How much area has been set aside in the MPA percentage-wise out of the total area that benefits from it?

Just so we don't run out of time, you have a relatively small area protected, but because it was identified as a highly productive area it benefits a much bigger area overall?

Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to our guests for being here and providing their testimony.
Maybe I can start with you, Mr. Feltham. You mentioned that everyone would support MPAs but nobody wants one in their backyard. If we talk about fisheries management practices, what would you suggest are the best management tools to improve the fishery stocks? With MPAs being one, what else do you think would work to bring fish back?

Well, you can choose any commercial fish, any recreational fish, or any other fish species on either coast. I was also going to broaden it to the marine ecosystem, because obviously we're not just concerned about fish. We're concerned about the marine ecosystem and about fish habitat, things that fish feed on, etc. The idea of MPAs is to look at how we protect those so that we get fish benefiting, whether it's a commercial fish or a non-commercial fish. We're trying to find out what are the things that work to help recover fish.

I think so. You definitely said water temperature, responsible harvesting, and other factors.
You also mentioned that the education program is critical. Can you describe your education program and the money you need for it, the support resources and that kind of thing to do an effective education program in communities?

Mr. Lambert, I will turn to you about two quick questions. The first one is you mentioned 7.75% protection. Is that available on the website, those areas? Do you have a map or a handout?

Thanks.
We've heard that size matters in MPAs and that what you protect is just as important, but we've also heard concerns that if the protected areas aren't large enough or right, they may not be effective. Could you comment on that.

Thanks to the witnesses and Mr. Thomson on the other end there. We haven't forgotten about you.
My first question will be for Mr. Lamirande.
What direction have you received from government in preparation for the so-called commitments to the UNDRIP declaration? How are you managing first nations consultation, or have you received direction from government in that report for that quarter?

If I could interject, I've sat on sport fishery advisory boards, and basically they barely had enough money to pay for a bit of mileage and maybe a pizza for lunch. That was about it. The funding there was quite limited, so here's what I'm getting at: is there is other funding or government funding provided for other organizations to participate in the consultation process on MPAs?

We've heard a lot about the coordination between the oceans branch and the fisheries branch not being the best. We heard that particularly on the east coast when we did a tour out there last fall. Can you tell us how you've coordinated that consultation, so that the fisheries sector is recognized in the oceans branch movement towards MPAs?
