Mr. Speaker, last year the Russian ship Olga had 49 tonnes of cod, which is under a moratorium, in its hold and Canada did nothing.
I have a Russian manifest of another ship that had the equivalent of 650,000 pounds of groundfish in its hold on April 8, 2002 in Bay Roberts, Newfoundland. Again the government did absolutely nothing.
Why does the government destroy and kill the hopes and aspirations of Newfoundland fishermen and their families and does nothing to the foreigners who rape and pillage our resource?
