What I would like to know is, with all these negotiations going on, which are so desperately important for the inshore fishery—in fact, it's the death of the inshore fishery if what is proposed happens—why did the government wait until April to put this proposal forward? These proposed WTO rules will destroy the inshore fishery in this country. If the government does not oppose this and make sure it doesn't happen, it means the rural areas of Prince Edward Island are not in difficulty, they're gone.
So it's a very serious situation, Mr. Minister.
