Mr. Speaker, I have several petitions from Ridgeway, Fort Erie, Stevensville, Port Colborne, Dunnville, Crystal Beach, St. Davids, Niagara-on-the-Lake, Lowbanks and Niagara Falls.
The petitioners state that because the government has acted without consulting the fishing industry and without relying on credible science and that the actions of the government will put an end to recreational fishing, as we know it, they petition Parliament to use all possible legislative and administrative measures to stop the prohibition on the importation, manufacture and sale of lead sinkers and jigs used in fishing.
