Mr. Speaker, in light of the Marshall decision the severe lack of leadership has caused a devastating effect among the lobster fishermen in my home province of Nova Scotia.
Let us note the date. Tomorrow area 35 of the Bay of Fundy opens up to commercial fishery and Bay of Fundy inshore fishermen and the aboriginal people are working together toward a co-operative solution. Unfortunately they are doing it on their own.
Will the minister commit the necessary resources to help the Bay of Fundy inshore fishermen reach a co-operative settlement with aboriginal people for the future of the lobster fishery?
