This report dealt with salmon fishing and showed that 57 per cent of revenue from the salmon fishing industry came from anglers who only accounted for about 4½ per cent of the catch. Is it the Minister's intention, as regards fishermen drift netting with monofilament nets, that the law should be upheld in this regard? Does he intend putting sufficient resources at the disposal of the fisheries boards to ensure this happens and to protect the other end of the industry?

The enforcement of regulations and the possible changes in regard to monofilament netting are the subject of a review initiated by my predecessor. At this stage I will not make any comment because we still have not got the final report of that review committee. As regards drift netting, we give notice that we will not tolerate the illegal activities which have been taking place in recent times. We strongly believe in the enforcement of the fisheries regulations and conservation measures and every effort will be made to stop any illegal and indiscriminate fishing.
