Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for Huron—Bruce for his interest in this issue.
The government remains committed to protecting the inland fishery resources, particularly of the Great Lakes, and the continuation of the sea lamprey parasite program.
Negotiations are going on between governments. As members will know, there is an international aspect to this. We also had discussions with the Ontario government.
I trust I will be able to give the hon. member the answer he would like before the end of the month.
