Madam Speaker, I sit on committee and let me correct the record: That is not what the minister said. Our goal is to grow Canada's fish and seafood sector, and the science has been clear that mackerel stocks are in the critical zone and have been for more than a decade. Without this forage fish, other fish do not survive. That also goes for lobster and crab. We are taking action. We want, on this side, not just for the mackerel to survive, but for it to thrive for fishers and coastal communities.

Madam Speaker, saying it twice does not make it more true. The fact of the matter is that we are focused on the stock. We are focused on creating a healthier stock. As I mentioned, the stock has been in the critical zone for the past 10 years. Our focus is on fishers and also on fishers' communities. That is what we are about on this side. We will continue to work with fishing communities and we will continue to work with fishing associations because that is the right thing to do for the stock and it is the right thing to do for fishers.
