Mr. Speaker, I too absolutely feel the plight of the fishery but I would point out that other issues have been raised. We have the softwood lumber issue and the issue of ranchers who are dealing BSE. In my riding I have health food manufacturers and pet food manufacturers that are dealing with these issues.
All the issues that we deal with on a daily basis have an incredible impact on one sector of the Canadian economy and they impact real Canadians.
The Speech from the Throne is a broad brush, as I said, of finding our compass, our true north, rather than winding our watch.
I would suggest to the hon. member opposite that we will deal with those issues and we will talk to Canadians and find the kinds of solutions that will be long term.
