Mr. Speaker, it is true. Half-page ads at $7,700 per ad have been taken out to support the Reform Party policy on the fishery, pondering up visions of the federal government being engaged in a "racist based fishery".
I have in my hand a copy of a letter written to the hon. member for Skeena and to the leader of the Reform Party by Michael Belliveau, the executive secretary of the Maritime Fishermen's Union. It states:
Dear Sir,
Who gave you the
god-given right' to poison attitudes towards First Nations peoples? Your press release,Tobin tax blatantly racist', is a disgrace and Orwellian to boot-Do not send us any more such contorted garbage".
