Mr. Speaker, many of my constituents have asked me to express their total and enthusiastic support for the efforts of our government to stop overfishing of turbot on the Grand Bank.
Although my riding of London-Middlesex is in southwestern Ontario many miles from the Grand Bank, our hearts are with the valiant people of Newfoundland and all Atlantic Canadians as they struggle to save fishing as a way of life.
Our hats are off to the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans as he leads this important crusade. From coast to coast to coast, Canadians applaud his efforts and the leadership of the government. We stand shoulder to shoulder beside our fellow Canadians in Atlantic Canada. Together we must and we will save the fishery.
