Mr. Speaker, no, not at all. In fact, it was the Prime Minister who earlier tonight pointed out that the steps taken by previous governments were in line with the Marshall decision. In fact, in the Marshall decision, the second ruling from the courts stipulated that the federal government, when it came to a moderate living, had an obligation to be involved to set the parameters, particularly on conservation.
The member can ask the the member for Malpeque about this. He did a report on it in the 1990s about the federal government having a duty to be involved to safeguard the industry, and the Supreme Court upheld that duty in the Marshall decisions.
