Mr. Speaker, the fishing industry is sick and tired of the lack of respect shown to it by the government. With the season now upon them, fishers in Coast of Bays—Central—Notre Dame and in all of Newfoundland and Labrador are wondering where the capelin management plan is. DFO's own science says that seals consume 99 times more capelin than fishermen harvest. This year, the assessment did not happen. With these facts in mind, will the minister confirm that she will reinstate last year's quota for capelin, or will she listen to activists like Oceana and shut another fishery down?

Madam Chair, 80% without a plan is not a strong performance. Is the minister going to cut the southwest Nova Scotia herring quota by 63%?

Madam Chair, Chief Justice McLachlin stated in the Stephen Marshall case that the right to hunt, fish and gather is limited to the things that first nations hunted, fished and gathered in 1761 when the treaty was signed. Since the minister did not know that, can the minister explain to me why the minister decided to expropriate 14% of the commercial elver quota—

Mr. Chair, I think the member is asking about a particular fishery. The regulations differ from fishery to fishery. A quota that is assigned to an inshore fisher may not be contracted out to someone else, nor can it be sold. That is a way to protect the integrity of the inshore fishery.

Mr. Chair, gathering facts is really important, and ensuring there is a public registry of who owns the quota is critical to being able to making decisions. Will the minister bring back limits on corporate and foreign ownership-backed Pacific fisheries? The limit was 12% from the 1960s up until the 1990s.
