Madam Chair, the protection of wild Pacific salmon is a priority for the government. We sympathize with communities that have been impacted by the salmon harvesting. We know there is a lot to do. We have been investing in habitat restoration. We have invested in Big Bar.
We are making sure that we are working with community groups, with indigenous communities and with the B.C. government to do everything we possibly can to protect the wild Pacific salmon. However, it is not enough to just protect them. We need to make sure that we are doing everything we can to grow those fish as well. We want to see them come back to an abundance. We are going to continue to do that.
