Mr. Speaker, very briefly, I do not really know where to begin other than to say that one of the most often asked questions that I am asked when I am at home on the west coast is what I think about provincial authority to take over the fishery.
The reason people are asking me that question is clearly that they are so dissatisfied with what has happened under the jurisdiction of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. What my colleague from Delta is talking about is the need for the federal agency to fix what is wrong, not go about consolidating a whole bunch of power and authority that really abrogates the public right to fish and other things.
