Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the parliamentary secretary for his encouraging words and his well presented examination of the situation as provided to him by the department.
Nevertheless, I must say from his response that here we have a classical case of the so-called sustainable aquatic industry of aquaculture being in collision with the aquatic ecosystem. The Department of Fisheries and Oceans is reluctant to perform its duty in removing certain operations, the one which I referred to in my earlier intervention, the net-cage salmon farming, from the water ecosystem. Therefore, the question I asked earlier still remains unanswered, that is, why is the department not performing its duties in relation to this problem?
