Mr. Speaker, Canadians are outraged at the Conservatives' take on fisheries and the environment.
They are muzzling scientists, they have closed the west coast oil spill response centre and today the minister announced plans to gut fisheries habitat protection. It seems there is no limit on what they will do to help their big business friends avoid environmental responsibility.
Does the minister not understand that selling out fish habitat is short-sighted and will damage both the fishery and our economy?
