Mr. Speaker, among the various points that the hon. member has put forward, the response in my notes indicates that although current data does not establish any direct link between the presence of salmon culture sites and low pink salmon returns in British Columbia's Broughton archipelago, the issue is of concern to the department. That is part of the response that is too dismissive of the point raised by the hon. member.
I have been assured that actions are being taken and if those aquaculture initiatives, which are under scrutiny, are not bearing up to the conditions that have been established under the relevant legislation, actions should and will be taken against them.
I will endeavour to obtain the information that the member has requested in order to allay his concern that we are not being as serious as he is about this issue, as it reflects on the natural habitat on the west coast. I will endeavour to get that information.
