Mr. Speaker, last February DFO rejected a request from the Mi'kmaq to develop a contingency plan prior to the Marshall decision. That was over eight months ago. Last month in another meeting, one day before the Marshall decision, DFO again rejected a request to develop a plan. Now we see the results of this inaction: chaos, violence, confrontation, uncertainty. The minister is simply not getting the job done.
I ask the Prime Minister, where is his plan to resolve this growing crisis?
