Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the member for Hillsborough his fine question. Over the past four years the Government of Canada has worked hard to promote sustainable oceans development through the Oceans Act. We have launched 21 integrated management pilot initiatives across the country and contributed to dozens of stewardship activities and international events.
I am quite proud of the work done by DFO employees, together with Canadians from all regions, to manage our oceans resource.
I ask the House and all my colleagues to join me in celebrating oceans day.
