Mr. Speaker, I wait in anticipation, but the truth is that more than ever we need the Great Lakes Fishery Commission to have the tools it needs to protect our Great Lakes fisheries.
Just recently, a commercial fisherman in Quebec reeled in a 29-kilogram Asian carp from the St. Lawrence River. The results will be devastating if an Asian carp population enters the Great Lakes in great numbers, or in any numbers in fact.
Why have the Liberals failed to protect an $8.3 billion recreational fishery in Canada?
