The Honourable Gordon O'Connor, Minister of National Defence, issued the following statement today on the deaths of Sergeant Darcy Scott Tedford and Private Blake Neil Williamson:
Canada's New Government is seeking to keep the right balance between the needs of coastal communities and the needs of our oceans to ensure both thrive. We are working with other fishing nations to find solutions that respect our environment and respect those who make their living on the sea.
