Yes. Just so that we're clear and the members from the west coast fishery understand what's going on, if this motion is voted on and approved, it will accomplish nothing, because it cannot bind the committee members whom it is referring to. I just want everybody to be clear; it does not bind anyone. The motion is simply directing the chair and the Liberal members of the committee to do something that they're not bound to do. I, for one, will not be following up on that, Mr. Chair.
It's important for the fishers on the west coast to understand that approving this motion is not going to accomplish anything with respect to a definitive answer. We can request, with the strength of the full committee, a definitive answer from the minister. That has already been articulated by the parliamentary secretary, Mr. Beech. The question was answered in the House that during this season, tubbing is going to be allowed. We want to get that clearly. I fully support your request and the committee getting a clear directive from the minister. I think that could be accomplished by the committee tout de suite.
