Mr. Speaker, we would be happy to take over the government and have a fishery policy that everybody could support.
Our resource management system is fundamentally flawed. The fisheries cannot be properly managed from Kent Street in Ottawa. The fishers of Shippagan, the Magdalen Islands and Placentia Bay must be able to speak up when it comes to their means of livelihood. They certainly could not do any worse than the federal Liberals.
Why is the minister doing nothing positive for the fisheries and why does he not delegate more control over resources to the provinces?
