Mr. Speaker, what is lost in time is any answer from the government. Recent decisions by the government, which take away fishery licence holders' quotas on the east and west coasts without compensation, are counter to the long-standing policy of “willing buyer, willing seller”. DFO sources tell me the minister was about to expropriate 15% of lobster traps from licence holders, without compensation, to give to first nations. This would be devastating for these fishermen. Will the minister state in the House, categorically, that the government will not expropriate from lobster fishermen?
