I think what you would need on Bill C-45—There are some good things in Bill C-45, as people in my industry have mentioned. I say by the time you get to the good things, you'll be dead. It's not a good feast when you can't eat it. The reality is that there needs to be broad consultation on the bill, which has not happened. It needs to happen before second reading is approved in Parliament, because we all know—I've been here, you are here—that the bill cannot be substantially amended after second reading. It's been approved in principle.
The amendments the fishermen want to put in that bill will be ruled out of order by Mr. Milliken, the Speaker. I know that. I've been here. Things haven't changed. Beauchesne is Beauchesne.
We need the government to get off this hobby horse. They have to push this bill through. They should refer it to a committee for study on a number of subject matters before it goes back for second reading. I don't understand why the government would not want to do that. If they want to pass the bill, they'll bear the consequences in fishing communities across Canada.
