Madam Speaker, it is quite the workout I am having today.
I want to give an example of a summit in this particular situation because a lot of people say it is not really necessary, but it is. It has worked in the past. In the province of Newfoundland and Labrador we had a fisheries summit that was chaired, incidentally, by a gentleman I know who used to sit in this House. His name was Loyola Hearn and he chaired the summit. What came out of that summit were some of the policy initiatives that we have today, some not so good, others pretty good, but it basically created a crossroads of communication for which I commend my former hon. colleague, Mr. Hearn, for doing at the time, and I wish him all the best, incidentally.
Nonetheless, that is the conversation that we need to have each on a provincial basis, as well as in a national forestry summit, to consolidate opinions and to allow the free flow of communications from unions, industry, and definitely from our government.
