Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Human Resources Development.
Yesterday, the minister stated that he is preparing to make public the measures to assist fishers after the expiry of TAGS. He also said “we are working in partnership with the provinces in an effort to address the situation”.
What answer does the minister have for Minister Beaton Tulk of Newfoundland, who last Wednesday stated that the federal government had gone there to announce its intentions, not to consult him? Is this what the minister means by partnership?
