Mr. Speaker, a lot of us are alarmed at the increasing level of friction and tension in the east coast fishery.
Today we learned that the West Nova Fishermen's Coalition is going back to court to do what this government should have done all along, which is to apply for a stay of judgment in the Marshall decision to allow first, for a cooling off period for everyone involved and second, to give time to determine the future role of non-aboriginals in the fisheries.
Will the government support their appeal to the court which asks for a stay and a clarification of the Marshall decision?
