Maybe he should go talk to the Newfoundland fishermen.</p>\n<p>If he came to Newfoundland and talked with the fishermen or with anyone involved, they would tell him. I am reminded of the words of the old Johnny Horton song:</p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>It's the same old tale that the crow told me Way down yonder by the sycamore tree</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p>This is the same story that we hear over and over, that there is nothing wrong. No wonder our resources are being raped over and over when the government says there is nothing wrong. The circumstantial evidence surrounding that manifest was enough to take all the Russian boats out of there and send them home for good. All we look at is a manifest without analyzing and say that yes, everything is okay and off we go.</p>\n<p>It is unfortunate. The minister has a great opportunity to make a name for himself, do what is right for Canada, and he has blown it.</p>",
