Hon. Fernand Robichaud:

Honourable senators, my question is for the Leader of the Government. Yesterday, representatives of the lobster fishery appeared before the Fisheries Committee, which was examining the $10 million program to which you referred.

I ask the leader, given that what it announced is clearly not enough, does the government have something else up its sleeve?
