Mr. Speaker, on the west coast we do not just live near the ocean. We live on it. Time on the water is how we connect with friends, clear our heads and put food on the table. It is practically therapy, and we might even catch dinner, but now the Liberals are putting 9,100 jobs and a $1.76-billion industry at risk with proposed changes to the salmon allocation policy.
Will this east coast minister show respect for our west coast way of life by committing right now to maintaining priority for public fisheries and certainty of public access to salmon to feed our families?
