Madam Chair, the minister is back on her talking points. Folks down east know the steps the previous government, as well as the Liberal government, took to ensure owner-operator fleet separation was first enshrined in regulation, cleaned up and then passed into law.
We are looking for clear answers on this. Are you going to ensure that this corporate deal does not gut the owner-operator fleet separation policies and that the inshore fishery will continue? Do not give us talking points that sidestep the question. Give us an answer. Fishers back home are listening and hanging on your every word because their livelihoods are at stake.
