Madam Chair, under the current government, the science budget for the fisheries side of DFO, which is the side that deals with stock management, has declined by 3%, while the environmental ocean side has seen its science budget increase by 65% Is this why 80% of stocks in the critical zone do not have a recovery plan?

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, if so, then the minister knows that as it says in the government's mandate letters, this is the most important relationship. Can the minister tell the House whether the Marshall decision applies to Canada or just to Atlantic Canada?

Madam Chair, Marshall I states that the indigenous right to participate in the unregulated fishery of 1761 is a right to participate in the regulated fishery of today. Why, then, for at least the last three years, has the DFO allowed out-of-season lobster fishing in southwest Nova Scotia?

Madam Chair, I am not clear which fishery the member is referring to. The Supreme Court ruling was that the Mi'kmaq communities have a right to moderate livelihood fisheries and food, social and ceremonial fisheries.
