QUESTION PERIOD — Fisheries and Oceans
International Pacific Halibut Commission
April 16, 2024
My question is for Senator Gold.
Senator Gold, on December 5 last year, I asked about Canada’s financial obligations to the International Pacific Halibut Commission and whether we had fulfilled those obligations — in short, whether or not we had paid our bill.
I have not yet received notification of any inquiries to the minister nor have I been advised that this overdue bill has been paid. May I respectfully request that you offer a gentle reminder to the minister that this bill is long past due to the International Pacific Halibut Commission and advise this chamber accordingly?
Thank you for your question, senator. I understand that my office has indeed inquired with the minister’s office and I will share directly with your office any updates that I receive. I’ll certainly raise the issue when I can.
Thank you.
