Mr. Speaker, let me be clear about what actually happened here. The DFO more than doubled the number of enforcement officers. We worked closely with the RCMP. We made numerous arrests, seized gear and unauthorized catches and closed down the fishery to protect public safety and conservation. This enforcement continues for the closed elver fishery. We are working to reduce the amount of illegal fishery, and we will continue to do just that.
