Mr. Speaker, business people in the Vancouver Island community of Ucluelet have spent millions of dollars upgrading their fish processing facilities, yet we hear this government is about to sell out on them. In fact, it is going to give this fish to foreign nations, Polish vessels offshore to process this fish.
My question is very simple. Before the government gives any Canadian fish to any foreign nations to process offshore, will it ensure that every single Canadian processor has priority access to this resource and no foreign nation will get fish before Canadians to process?
