Mr. Speaker, we know that in this budget the Liberals have not forecast beyond this fiscal year, but when it comes to wild Pacific salmon, where I come from, the Pacific salmon strategy initiative is sunsetting, and so is the B.C. salmon restoration fund. Salmon are critical for our food security, our economy, our well-being and our way of life on the west coast. With these programs sunsetting, that infrastructure is going to disappear.
Can my colleague make a commitment to people on the west coast to protect wild Pacific salmon and invest in habitat protection in years and decades to come?
