Mr. Speaker, lobstermen in Nova Scotia fish for our food, risking their lives in the winter. Waves crashing over them, fishing in blizzards and high seas, they risk their lives for 40 years so that they can save a little to retire on the sale of their boat and their licence. The NDP-Liberal latest tax grab on fishermen is to increase, massively, the tax on the sale of their licence, boat and gear, even after the fishing exemption. Why do the NDP-Liberals think that robbing fishermen of a dignified and honest retirement is fair?
