Mr. Speaker, I would like to come back to the parliamentary secretary on the issue of the national marine advisory council and getting the employees who do the work to be part of the advisory process to the government. We have had a number of questions which have exposed in a very short order the fact that many of the people who work in the marine industry do not support this bill. That is a major concern. Will the parliamentary secretary confirm that marine employees were consulted? Can he list who was consulted?
