✘ Bill C-251, Conservation of Fish Stocks and Management of Pinnipeds Act

Bill

Bill C-251, An Act respecting the development of a federal framework on the conservation of fish stocks and management of pinnipeds

Vote

Nay.

Rationale

Bill C-251 would require the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans to develop a federal framework on the conservation of fish stocks and management of pinnipeds. Despite the intention to address the management of pinnipeds, C-251 makes no reference to science. Decision on the health and well-being of mammals must be based on science not only in order to preserve the health of our ecosystems, but also to remain compliant with international trade policy provisions.

Failed.
