Mr. Chair, I appreciate that the member talked about scientific research because that is what I wanted to ask about.
I am hoping that Fisheries and Oceans will put more research money into the north Pacific to deal with the dramatic decline in the north Pacific salmon.
However in relation to the east coast, I appreciated the statistics the member gave on the snow crab.
I wonder if the member could let us know how much research money has been put in over the last two years and in this year's budget for the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, for the east coast. Second, could he give a similar story on lobster to the one he gave on the crab?
