Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Prime Minister.
There are 115,000 early Stuart sockeye missing from the Fraser River system. A report prepared by staff at the Department of Fisheries and Oceans makes it clear that DFO mismanagement and lack of enforcement are responsible. Further, the report confirms that the minister ignored the advice of his staff and chose not to close the fishery even though there were inadequate numbers of sockeye returning.
What does the Prime Minister intend to do about this incompetence which has led to the devastation of this sockeye run this year?
