Mr. Speaker, the $1-billion crab industry in Newfoundland and Labrador is at a standstill due to poor markets. Traditionally, when the Alaskan crab fishery goes down, Japan buys more crab from Canada. Instead, Japan is buying cheap crab from Russia instead of sanctioning Russia, like the U.S. did when the Ukrainian war started. Has the Prime Minister asked our allies in Asia to sanction Russian crab, yes or no?

Mr. Speaker, to echo what my colleague said earlier, one would think that everything is going great for this government. Everything is just fine and dandy. On the ground, we are hearing from desperate people, destitute fishers, who are under the thumb of bureaucrats and technocrats who have never consulted in the field. This is just in the fishery. What about employment insurance, which is a major lever for economic development? Business owners and workers alike agree with the Bloc Québécois's position that EI must be adapted for seasonal work done by people in the regions. If that does not happen, seasonal work will cease to exist. How can the government tell me that everything is fine and that the government supports the regions? That is not what I am hearing in my region.
