Mr. Speaker, public consultations are currently underway on the possible addition of Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic cod and the Laurentian North Atlantic cod to the list of species at risk. This could have undoubtedly an enormous impact on all Newfoundlanders and Labradorians.
Public consultations are currently only scheduled to take place during the day. This could be problematic for people at work who just cannot attend.
Could the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans please inform the House if there will be any changes for the people affected?
