Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans.
I want to say that we welcome the important steps taken by the minister to save B.C.'s endangered coho salmon last week.
Will the minister tell the House what new steps he is taking to get a treaty that stops Alaskans from fishing our coho while B.C. fishers stand by?
When will the minister respond to the important recommendations of the Copes commission on fisheries renewal and saving our threatened small boat fleet and coastal communities?
