He said that there is no evidence that all shark fin imported from Canada comes from inhuman hunting, and it is impossible to knock over a boatload of people with one pole. He pointed out that banning the sale of shark fin is to prohibit the municipal government from how to deal with the possible sale and consumption of shark fin. Liang Center said that such a ban does not fall within the jurisdiction of the federal government. He encouraged the local business community to speak to the city Council, and the local business community planned to ask the candidates in the city to take a stand on the shark fin ban.
Accompanied by Congressman Yang Xiaohui of Vancouver Southern District and Senior Advisor Liang Yingnian of the Federal Immigration Department, Liang Center talked with many representatives of local restaurants, Chinese medicine shops, importers and consumers, and listened to the views of all sectors of society on banning the sale of shark fin as a reference for the government to completely ban the import of shark fin, in response to the bill submitted by Congressman of the Federal New Democracy Party.
Liang Center said that saving endangered sharks cannot be solved by banning the import of shark fins. He criticized the jurisdiction of members of Congress and suggested that the local business community actively speak to the city council.
However, donnelly said in a telephone interview that it is the responsibility of the federal government to ban the import of shark fin, and it is the jurisdiction of the provincial government to ban the sale and consumption of shark fin. He said that he had put forward a proposal to ban the import of shark fin nationwide at the beginning of this month, hoping to submit it to the National Assembly for discussion and voting in this session.
Lin Huaze, chairman of Chinatown Chamber of Commerce, said that the local business community was worried that some candidates in urban elections would speculate on votes, and finally Vancouver was banned from selling shark fins like Toronto. He is very much in favor of Liang's suggestion, so he intends to invite candidates to participate in the discussion and ask them to express their opinions before the city election.
