Mr. Speaker, my colleague is right about Nova Scotia's support for the new act, and this is not just coming from the government. In a recent press release, Nova Scotia's fisheries minister, Ron Chisholm, said:
We have been talking with many fishermen over the past few weeks and almost all agree that we need a new Fisheries Act. There are concerns but most are based on a lack of detail about what the new act will do, or misinformation.
Much of that misinformation is coming from the member for Sackville—Eastern Shore. It t is about time he stood up for Nova Scotia's billion dollar fishing industry and supported the new act.
