Mr. Speaker, if the member were better informed, he would know that climate change has considerably affected fish stocks all over the world.
While the Grand Banks off Newfoundland constituted the richest cod fishing grounds for hundreds of years, in recent years, the numbers have dropped considerably. There are factors such as temperature, too many seals and other similar problems that we are managing to the best of our ability. However, in other sectors of the fishery, things are much better.
