Mr. Speaker, I am surprised by the question because it was the previous government that announced financial assistance to New Brunswick in the amount of $20 million but never actually delivered that money. If it had, I think we would not be having this conversation.
When we formed government we recognized that although the aquaculture industry, which is where that money was intended to go, had undergone a certain amount of restructuring, it still faced some significant challenges, so our government almost immediately provided $10 million through ACOA that has already gone out.
We have demonstrated a real commitment and real money to the aquaculture industry, in fact all sectors of the fishing industry in New Brunswick. I would expect the member to be applauding that.
