Mr. Speaker, I look at the Conservatives across the way and I see that they have no shame in claiming that they want to work toward prosperity, when all they manage to do is build a road to austerity. Canadians know that the only thing the Conservatives can do is chop, chop, chop. They cut investments in small craft harbours. They cut investments in science. They cut investments in families, in child care services and in dental care. That is the way to build a road to austerity. That is the Conservatives.

Mr. Speaker, our government recognizes the cultural, economic and historical importance of cod to the people of Newfoundland and Labrador. That is why, after a 30-year shutdown, I announced the end of the northern cod moratorium. This modern fishery will generate significant benefits for Newfoundland and Labrador while supporting good-paying jobs. Our government is committed to managing a sustainable, prosperous fishery that benefits all generations, present and future.

Mr. Speaker, our fishery officers have a very difficult job and they do it every day. The opposition keeps repeating ad nauseam that there is no enforcement happening on the water, but that claim is utterly false and frankly irresponsible. The work is being done— An hon. member: Oh, oh!

Mr. Speaker, I want to reassure my colleague that while he might have a loud voice, I have one too. We are deploying the additional staff and resources needed to protect our oceans and resources.

Mr. Speaker, I would ask my colleagues to listen to the English interpretation of what I am about to say in French. The claims currently being made here in the House are completely untrue. Fishery officers are doing their job. We, on this side of the House, are not putting on a show. This issue is too important. It is a matter of maritime security. I really want to reassure the public. The things being said are irresponsible. We are going to keep on doing our job the right way, as we should.
