I propose to take Questions Nos. 571 and 572 together.
Under the Fisheries Acts, primary responsibility for the management, conservation, protection and development of inland fisheries stocks rests with the Central and Regional Fisheries Boards. A considerable proportion of fisheries boards' resources and personnel time is devoted to the protection of fish stocks. I have not been made aware of any increase in the extent of law breaking as regards salmon fishing in 2007.
Additional funding will be provided to the Regional Fisheries Boards in 2008, as in 2007, to allow enhanced enforcement and protection of salmon stocks.
