Madam Speaker, I listened with great interest to the remarks my colleague, the member from the Progressive Conservative Party, just made.
He seems to stand up for the fisheries in his region, but there is so much duplication in Bill C-48 between Heritage Canada's marine conservation areas, Fisheries and Oceans' marine protected areas and Environment Canada's marine and wildlife reserves that one can wonder who will have the largest jurisdiction and be able to protect fisheries the best.
He also mentioned the critical situation resulting from the miscalculation in assessing fish stocks.
Does he feel safe knowing that the Minister of Canadian Heritage is the one who will be selecting the advisors and advisory committees on the management of the main resource in the Atlantic region?
