Mr. Speaker, I have not had a lot of co-operation from the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans. He certainly has shown no credibility in his administration of the department in the part of the country where I live. It goes beyond the lack of caring for fish stocks to the way that other people using the rivers are being troubled.
I had a representation from the Cariboo Mining Association indicating that fisheries officers were trying to drive the miners away from the rivers despite the fact that they jump through all the hoops and keep all the laws.
The hon. member does not make an unreasonable suggestion.
