Work on this legislation is ongoing in my Department. The new Bill will consolidate 14 separate enactments and will include provisions in relation to, inter alia, the nature of fishery ownership as well as title and fishing rights. A significant number of drafts have been completed. In addition, I will shortly be publishing a roadmap which will set out my plans for a policy statement for the inland fisheries sector. The final Bill will be informed by this policy statement.
