Mr. Speaker, I certainly acknowledge the comments made by my hon. colleague from Burnaby.
The fisheries committee travelled to an inland fishery in Manitoba some years back and made recommendations that would have improved the inland fisheries of Canada. It met with people from the northern end of my riding to the southern end. It made good, strong recommendations because it recognized the problems. Its members, a very knowledge based group of individuals, made great recommendations that were totally ignored.
The fisheries committee has done a great job. It is now in the government's hands to do something about it and follow through on the committee's recommendations.
