When we formed government, the lobster fishery was facing a number of challenges. We took action, we worked with the industry and he invested $50 million in the Atlantic lobster sustainability program. The results are undeniable, Mr. Speaker, since 2007, total lobster landings have increased by 93%. And our last lobster exports for a high of $1.1 billion last year. Our government, Mr. Speaker, led by my seat mate, has worked to secure trade agreements to expand agreements for Canadian lobster and expand more markets for delicious Canadian lobster. youtu.be/1TaySKOlr8Y
