Mr. Speaker, as the vice-chair of the fisheries committee, I would like to take a moment to thank the chair of the fisheries committee for co-hosting the Salmon Forever reception last night, where we worked across party lines in the interests of all wild Pacific salmon.
The Conservatives' supplemental report on derelict and abandoned vessels is attached to the main report. I thank all of the witnesses from coast to coast to coast for contributing to the study.
While the main report provides a number of recommendations, the Conservatives' supplemental report only contains two very important recommendations. I urge all Canadians, especially those concerned with derelict and abandoned vessels, to read the reports, especially the Conservatives' supplemental report for the solutions it provides, and let their local MPs know that it is time for the Liberal government to get serious about protecting our waters, fisheries and biodiversity.
