Once upon a time, Canada had a fisheries ambassador to represent the Canadian fishing industry at the United Nations and other high-level bilateral and multilateral meetings. In 2015, when this government was elected, the position of the fisheries ambassador was eliminated. Since then, this government has been sending members of ENGOs, such as Oceans North, to represent Canada's fishing interests.
Ms. Graham, why is your government sending foreign-funded activists who want to simply reduce fishing instead of an advocate who will support our fishing industry to the world?
