Madam Speaker, I present a petition that calls upon the government to establish an independent judicial inquiry under the federal Inquiries Act to fully explore all the facts and consult with scientists and stakeholders to determine what went wrong with this year's sockeye run and present a public report with binding solutions within six months.
A process is in place in British Columbia about the missing Fraser River sockeye. However, by the time that report comes out, there will be another full season of Fraser River sockeye.
We encourage the government to respect this petition and have the report presented within six months.
