My comments are almost in line with everybody else's.
When I hear the word “science” coming from my Conservative colleagues, I always want to laugh so hard. Remember what was done to science when they were in power.
The minister will come for two hours if we just vote on it. Members will have a lot of opportunity to ask some questions of the minister about this. We have to trust science. Whether we like it or not, scientists at DFO are well trained and well equipped to get good data, whether it's on fisheries or other issues that they study. We have to trust them. I think DFO is doing a great job when it comes to collecting data in my region.
I'm going to vote against this motion. It's something that we can ask the minister about when she comes. We just have to let officials take some questions that we have regarding science when they come.
