Mr. Speaker, 100 traps out of 3,500. Freeze up is coming and so is Christmas.
The minister said that he would not negotiate until traps were out of the water and he did. He set a 40 trap limit and he ignored it. He set a 40,000 pound catch limit. He ignored that. He claims and expresses a commitment to conservation. He ignores that. Now he has set a 24 hour limit and he ignores that.
I want the fisheries minister to level with us and tell us why the traps are not out of the water.
