Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to present a petition from quite a number of constituents in Prince Edward Island.
The petitioners are very concerned about the evolving DFO fleet separation and owner-operator policies. They believe the fleet separation and owner-operator policies form the backbone of the Atlantic inshore and midshore fisheries. They are very concerned about the government's proposal in this regard.
The petitioners call upon Parliament and the Prime Minister to maintain and strengthen the fleet separation and owner-operator policies.
