Madam Chair, the issue that is getting the most attention, and one of the most serious on the east coast, is the conflict between first nations fishers and commercial fishers. One of the areas I hear the most concern about, and it comes both from departmental staff as well as fishers both commercial and indigenous, is the lack of enforcement capability within the department.
Madam minister, could you give an opinion on the level of enforcement capability in the department? Is it adequate to do the job that we expect it to?
