Madam Speaker, at the fisheries committee, officials from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency could not identify who in government is responsible for ensuring imported seafood is not caught illegally or by using exploited workers. Illegal harvesting and the use of exploited workers are despicable. The government needs to get serious about stopping these activities. Why is the government not able to identify who is responsible for ensuring that fish and seafood imported to Canada is not caught illegally and is free of exploited labour?
