Madam Chair, Oceana has recently released its “Fishery Audit 2020”, which found that Canada's fisheries have declined under the Liberal government.
Under this government's tenure, the number of healthy fish populations decreased by almost eight percentage points from 2017 until 2020. To make matters worse, no comprehensive or meaningful rebuilding plans were released in 2020, and Fisheries and Oceans Canada only delivered on 14% of its published priorities.
Why has the fisheries minister failed to deliver on the other 86% of her priorities?
