Mr. Speaker, my question is for the backbench Liberals who wish to applaud this northern Ontario style budget.
The member mentioned there is something fishy about this budget. We have a major crisis in this country on all three coasts, the west, the north and the east coasts. There was not one single word, not even one attention for the people who are facing a major crisis in their lives. We are talking about hundreds of thousands of people in hundreds of communities on all coasts in the fisheries. There was not one single word in there about the crisis in the fisheries.
My question for the government of the day is why was that omitted from this budget.
