Mr. Speaker, first I thank the hon. member for the question. It happens to be one of the few opposition questions on an issue which actually threatens the planet far more greatly than any threat for even the fish stocks.
In fact, the death of the cod stock is partly as a result of the global warming effect which has seen the level of the planet's temperature increase by three degrees since the beginning of time. We expect another three degree increase in the next 50 years.
