Mr. Speaker, I would never consider contradicting the minister. The minister indicated that conservation is important, and it is an important issue, not just for the fisheries but for every resource. That is an important issue and it is a general statement.
What I did say was that the number of lobster traps used in District 23, Burnt Church, on Miramichi Bay by aboriginal lobster fishers adds up to less than 1% of the number used by the commercial fishery.
We can assume whatever we want, but what I went on to say was that there are other considerations besides conservation. Conservation is always important when we are dealing with a resource, but there is also economic preservation. That was the point I was making.
