Mr. Speaker, there is no question that the world's oceans are under threat from overfishing capacity and pollution. We have to put international pressures on those areas.
In Rome, Canada pressed all nations to enact the UNFA agreement by the year 2000 to protect global high seas and migratory fish stocks. Canada set the tone at the FAO. We have led the debate in terms of conservation of the fisheries.
Our Minister of Fisheries and Oceans will continue to provide leadership not only domestically, but globally and internationally around the world.
