Thank you very much, Mr. Chair, to Mr. Manning.
On the overfishing issue, again, when we talked about infrastructure, I guess, or the coast guard, habitat, and the Fraser River, all of these issues were dealt with, and a lot of push was put on by the former committee, and none more so than for overfishing. It was an issue introduced, I'm sure, over the years, but was certainly reinvigorated the very first day we sat on this committee. It went through debates, it went through motions in the House, it went through all kinds of discussion.
We said we would deal with overfishing. People say, you know, you say one thing on one side of the House, and you get on the other side and you say something different. I've made it clear. Anything I've said when I was a member of this committee--and you can dig out any Hansard that covered the committee, I haven't changed my mind one little bit. I'm saying the same thing today.
Have we done something about overfishing? Yes, we have. We have added to the resource, to the surveillance and so on, of the Nose and Tail and the Flemish Cap from an aerial surveillance point of view to an oceans point of view, something that had been started by the previous government. In fact, a fair amount of work had been done by the previous government in that area. What we did was something that we had always said could be done.
