Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my friend for his leadership on this issue. I would also like to thank my colleagues in British Columbia who works so hard to advocate for our iconic wild Pacific salmon.
Through budget 2021, our government is investing an unprecedented $647 million to both protect and restore our wild salmon stocks. This is a historic investment at a crucial time.
Working together with our provincial and indigenous partners, we can ensure that wild salmon grow and prosper on the B.C. coast for generations to come.
