Mr. Speaker, the minister of fisheries wants to wait until the NAFO meeting in September before he starts to deal seriously with overfishing in the Grand Banks.
How many more fish plants have to close before he acts?
I have two simple questions for the Minister of Foreign Affairs. First, is Canada preparing new proposals on a NAFO enforcement system with teeth? Second, is there a formal committee of officials working with other NAFO members to get support for new enforcement measures with teeth?
