Mr. Speaker, I cannot help but comment on the last remarks of the hon. member. The tensions and whatnot that he is describing, the fears and the hurts that people are relating to him, are the same problems that we have been listening to for the last six or seven years in British Columbia. They are problems that were brought on by the policy of the former Conservative government.
The solution that is proposed is the same solution. The one season, one set of regulations solution is the same one that was proposed by the fishing industry on the west coast and was rejected wholeheartedly by the previous government and by this caucus all the way along. That has been our proposed solution.
I am still curious as to why the suggestion I made that a stay of judgment and a rehearing of the case be sought is rejected by my friend who just spoke. The facts are clear that the moratorium will not work. There is no compulsion on anybody to comply with the terms of the moratorium, but a stay of judgment would have some legal authority. It would give voice to those people who are affected by the decision. I would like to know why they reject that notion.
