Mr. Chair, I disagree with Mr. Small. In his original motion he keeps referencing how Canadian fish harvesters need to have their voices heard. That's all Madame Desbiens is asking for. With respect to the cod there is a difference, but this study should focus on the scientific and the data. I will speak to that more when I get my turn on the motion.
Adding a reference to cod in that particular area would not take anything from the main focus of the northern cod, but it is, to quote Mr. Small, the Canadian fish harvesters' concerns. He keeps referencing his motion about Canadian fish harvesters being ignored. That's what he's trying to do now by trying to constrain Madame Desbiens' subamendment.
