Mr. Speaker, why is the response of the federal government always to shut things down in British Columbia?
The Minister of Fisheries and Oceans is closing light stations and shutting down programs to help save salmon stocks. Yesterday the plywood arrived to close down the light station at Pachena, the very light station that saved the minister and his sailboat.
When 80% of British Columbians want light stations to be staffed, why does the minister continue to shut them down?
