Mr. Speaker, it is an honour to rise to present a petition from my constituents. I identify it as petition no. 12404906.
Petitioners express concern, as do British Columbians in general, about the plight of our west coast wild Pacific salmon. A deep concern about the Fraser River sockeye run led to the commission of inquiry referenced in the petition, chaired by Mr. Justice Cohen and put in place under the administration of former prime minister Stephen Harper. The results of that commission of inquiry have been in front of government since 2012. That was 12 years ago.
The petitioners continue to ask that all of the recommendations of the Cohen inquiry be implemented and that the government act immediately to implement all 75 recommendations.
