Mr. Speaker, I want to very briefly ask the parliamentary secretary for fisheries and oceans a couple of questions.
Previously the member for Delta—South Richmond indicated a concern about UN conversations at meetings or groups that he had been to a few years previously. He raised a couple of very interesting points about the possibility that Canada may have reduced any kind of managerial control over or opportunity to toughen our conservation laws, especially on the nose and tail of the Grand Banks.
I would like to ask if it is at all possible for the parliamentary secretary to respond to the Reform member's assertions and if he could table any kind of response to the House of Commons so that all of us could review the comments from the department and the government on what the member said.
I wonder how the member got a holiday named after him. I guess he was lucky in that regard.
Mr. Speaker, I want to wish you, all the pages and all of my political colleagues in the House of Commons, as well as the people of Canada, a very happy Easter and a very restful holiday.
