“Canada is leading the world in ocean protection. We are spending over $1.2 billion to keep oceans safe, support fisheries, and grow the ocean economy. We will also host a major world ocean conference in Halifax this May.”
“Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for her passion for ocean protection. She is right. Canada is stepping up as a global leader. Recently, I joined the Prime Minister as he announced the start of Canada’s oceans strategy, with more than $1.2 billion in new funding to strengthen marine safety, reinforce our fisheries and build a stronger, more sustainable ocean economy. We are not done there. In May, Canada will host the Our Ocean Conference. I look forward to welcoming all of Canada to Halifax.”
