Mr. Speaker, understanding the Marshall decisions should be the minister's top priority given that this is the government's most important relationship. The minister needs to know that the 1999 fisheries committee report clearly stated that the court confirmed the department's sole authority to regulate the fisheries and did not confer any right to a separate commercial fishery. Will the minister abide by that decision when implementing any future decision regarding commercial fisheries, yes or no?

Mr. Speaker, Fisheries and Oceans Canada's proposed marine protected area east of the Scotian shelf would spell the end of commercial fishing. This plan will put an end to the economic development of halibut, crab and lobster for both indigenous and non‑indigenous fishers. Will the minister stop hurting commercial and indigenous fishers, and will she stop hurting Atlantic Canada's economy?
