Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans.
The government announced a $57 million cut to DFO and the loss of 275 jobs. The fishing industry, which does so much to drive the economy of Canada's Atlantic and Pacific coastal communities, deserves to know the details. These cuts will hurt economically, will diminish research capacity and will pose a safety issue.
Will the government be up front and provide the details on these massive cuts?
