Mr. Speaker, I will let the ministers speak for themselves. I will as well. I always have spoken for myself and I will continue to do that.
I do not want to get into a numbers game. The numbers game has been played in the media a fair bit, that there is only such and such a number of traps. We have to keep in mind that in Malpeque Bay and some areas in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick at this time of year they trap at about five times the rate of that in June. We cannot go by the trap numbers or percentages necessarily.
If we go back to my remarks, what I argued was conservation. The food fishery for the native community in Malpeque Bay was shut down. In my view, any lobsters taken over and above the current management plans, which are already maxed out in terms of the pressure on the resource, could be considered a concern for conservation. We have to look at the current management plans and ensure that there is no greater effort on that resource as a result of this decision until we have the regulatory regime in place that recognizes this decision and does it in a managed way.
