“French officials confirmed that no new snow crab licence was issued. People in the member's riding reach out to me about real issues like harbours, energy agreements, and job training. We need to stop the nonsense and work together.”
“Mr. Speaker, first of all, I will not play politics with issues as important as this. What I will say is that French officials confirmed that no new snow crab licence was issued. What I will say to the member is that the residents and constituents in his riding reach out to me regularly to talk about the things that matter: small craft harbours, the Churchill Falls agreement, the work on training our young people for Red Seal certifications, and on and on it goes. It is enough of the nonsense. We have work to do. Canadians know we need to work together. The member needs to— Some hon. members: Oh, oh!”
