Mr. Speaker, I enjoyed listening to the remarks of the member for Vancouver Island North. In fact the member and a group from the fisheries committee were just in Nova Scotia. As he mentioned in his speech certainly there were some concerns raised by fishermen about the Canada-Nova Scotia Offshore Petroleum Board and decisions it might make that would impact their industry. There also were some concerns raised on marine conservation areas that might or might not be proposed in the future.
I wonder if the member would expand a little further on the concerns that fishermen expressed to us and others relative to those two points, especially as they relate to marine conservation areas.
