Controversy
Jackman came under attack in February 2011, when a report, by a committee put in place by the government, recommended that the Department of Fisheries and Aquaculture invest $450 million to downsize the commercial fishery. Jackman announced immediately that he would not to endorse the report because he felt it would not solve the problems in the fishery. Lorraine Michael, the leader of the New Democratic Party, called on Jackman to resign his post as minister.[1]
