Mr. Speaker, there are no foreign fishing vessels fishing within the 200 mile limit and the hon. member knows that. There are seven vessels outside the 200 mile limit and that is a fraction of what it was during Tory times. The total amount in tonnage of fish taken within the 200 mile limit by foreign vessels today is between one-half and one per cent of what it was when his government was in power.
In the House of Commons on February 19th, 1998. See this statement in context.
