Time for me to kick in and remind those who committed to our future for votes, what they said when needing us and what they said when we need them.
"We have spread these resources across the country with minimal effort, not counting the use of our air space that puts hundreds of millions into the central coffers and we do not get a penny. We do not want handouts. We want a chance to manage, control and benefit from our own resource. We would be a contributing partner in Canada, not there to take. We are contributing partners but we could do it formally and in the recognized sense, if people only understood it."
"When I was growing up, a fisherman was somebody who went out in the boat, caught fish, sold the fish and gained maximum profit, such as it was in those days...Today every fisherman has to be licensed. Every person with a license is certainly not a fisherman. Therein lies the major problem. The process has been so manipulated that large corporations, people with money, are buying up licenses. They have other people front for them in the boat who obtain the minuscule part of the share. They are really destroying the whole process.The beneficiaries of catching a resource should be the primary people who are involved, the fishermen themselves."
These two heartfelt beauties are from none other than our current Minister of Fisheries and Oceans, Loyola Hearn when we was one of us and sitting on the Opposition side of the House of Commons.
