Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans.
The wild Atlantic salmon runs of 14 of Nova Scotia's southern upland rivers have been killed by acid rain and another 50 have been seriously impacted.
Over 8,000 letters sponsored by the Atlantic Salmon Federation have been written to the Prime Minister on this issue alone. He has not even given these people the courtesy of a single response. The Prime Minister has ignored 8,000 Canadians and the Atlantic salmon still need saving.
What commitment will the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans give to save Atlantic salmon from extinction?
