Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans continues to insist that he is too busy in Ottawa to go to Shippagan where there is a serious crisis affecting the fishing industry.
It is true that running from one reception to another, including one for the Liberal leadership candidate and member for LaSalle—Émard, is very important. The Minister of Fisheries and Oceans has very mixed up priorities.
My question is for the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans. Will the Liberal candidate for LaSalle—Émard have to hold a fundraiser in Shippagan to get the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans to go there, in order to finally resolve the fisheries crisis?
