Madam Speaker, I totally agree that, the mess having been caused by the federal government, it is once again up to the federal government to go and clean it up. When I refer to cleaning up the mess, my colleague from Bonaventure—Gaspé—Îles-de-la-Madelein—Pabok will surely have suggestions shortly on how that can be done. For instance, buying back licences, something that is often done, so that more space can be made for the aboriginal fishers who have had the supreme court rule in their favour.
Now the government is going to have to roll up its sleeves and show some courage. Instead of going back to the supreme court it is going to have to negotiate immediately, so that social peace may be restored to these communities.
THE MESS is of its doing, as my colleague has said, the Progressive Conservatives as well. When the Bloc Quebecois is in a sovereign Quebec, I will always be able to support my NDP colleagues, for I find their positions very close to those of our party.
