Fisheries and Oceans

During question period on fisheries and oceans, the Conservative critic raised China’s 25% tariff on Canadian seafood, saying a deal with China protected only two types of seafood while other seafood workers remain exposed, and asking the government to meet those workers. The minister replied that she regularly meets harvesters and ambassadors to open markets for Canadian seafood, and asked whether the member would support roughly $1 billion in funding for small craft harbours.Written by AI from the debate.

“I meet often with fishers and ambassadors to help sell our seafood. I want to know if the member will vote to spend almost $1 billion on small craft harbours.”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, I want to reassure the member that I meet regularly with harvesters on the wharves, as well as here in Ottawa and across the country. I also meet with ambassadors across this country to bring forward the need for our seafood to enter into markets. I have colleagues who are doing the same thing. I am going to ask the member if he is going to support small craft harbours, with almost $1 billion dollars in support for this industry. I will be watching how he votes.
