Mr. Speaker, last year the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans delayed revealing his groundfish plan, thereby creating the problems experienced in the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
This year, we are approaching June, and the department has yet to reveal its fishing plan.
Did the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans not learn his lesson last year? And if he did, why is he not acting and making public his fishing plan for the season, which is to start shortly?
