Mr. Speaker, the minister of fisheries in Washington just announced that if there is no deal with the U.S. by the start of the next fishing season he might have to cut Canadian quotas by 40% to 50% for the 1998 northern B.C. fishery.
When is the government going to stand up for Canadians and British Columbians and fight for us? The minister is down in the United States giving our quotas to the Americans. When is he going to stand up and do something?
