Mr. Speaker, my question is for the minister of fisheries.
It is critically important for the survival of Atlantic salmon that the west Greenland fishery be shut down entirely and immediately. Every fish caught off Greenland is one less fish returning to the seriously threatened salmon rivers of Nova Scotia and eastern Canada.
Will the minister of fisheries support the position of the Atlantic Salmon Federation in calling for a zero quota for the west Greenland fishery? Will he lobby NASCO this week to end the Greenland salmon fishery?
