Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague and good friend from Nunavut for his question.
I share my colleague's views on sustainable, science-based fisheries. We think this can create some good economic opportunities for Nunavut.
The programs on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts that our colleague referred to have enabled us to build strong relationships with first nations. We are very pleased to be working with him and other partners in Nunavut to develop economic and commercial fisheries in the north and Nunavut.
