Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans.
On Monday, March 27 the United Nations conference on the straddling and highly migratory fish stocks reconvenes. The recent fishing of the Spanish fleet on the nose and tail of the Grand Bank clearly shows the urgency for a binding convention to end the threat of foreign overfishing.
Can the minister tell the House what Canada hopes to achieve in these crucial meetings next week?
