Mr. Speaker, it would be inappropriate for me to speak on a case that is already before the courts. I certainly can tell the member that if one is caught fishing with no licence in a closed zone in Quebec, P.E.I. or anywhere else in Canada, one will be charged. We are trying to maintain the fisheries for the future and prevent illegal fishing.
