Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the parliamentary secretary for that attempted response, but he still has not clearly answered the question that Canadians are extremely concerned with. It is the public access and the priority access to chinook and coho salmon and the ranking that they currently have.
He said that no one will have their rights to access extinguished. Being extinguished is one thing, but having someone's access reduced or losing that priority ranking is what has so many Canadians concerned. That is not just on the west coast, but it is also inland and through the prairie provinces. It extends to people in other areas who travel and spend their resources in our great province. They are looking for certainty. The minister and the parliamentary secretary have failed to deliver that certainty.
