Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask my colleague a fairly specific question.
I represent a riding where many people fish for a living, and I am the Bloc's fisheries critic. One of the big surprises in this budget is that there is nothing to renew the fisheries fund.
The fisheries fund is approximately $40 million. The Government of Quebec provides 30% of that, while the Government of Canada provides 70%. This fund encourages innovation. It pays for scientific projects. Ultimately, it allows the fishing industry to modernize and to be more productive and grounded in science.
There is nothing in the budget about this fund. Why is that?
