The Federal Fisheries Minister Loyola Hearn has half-delivered on the food fishery. The discriminatory licenses and tags are gone...for now...but wait until a consistent Atlantic Regional policy is developed. Oh so maybe everybody will get tagged and licensed.
In either case we start in August for a month everybody else carries on as usual. Guess the tourism fishery is still going mad in Nova Scotia.
Some increase in commercial quota in one area and a new "bay fishery", for small boat fishers. 3000 POUNDS! That should make up for the total crab fishery collapse this year and bring everybody home from away.
What's left?
We are allowed to fish 1 month at 5 a day. You can plant potatoes every day as long as they can grow.
The Income Stabilization Fund is there for farmers not for fishers or plant workers. The early retirement has been written off as taken care of because Loyola grants that people who want to retire can sell their enterprise to their son or daughter and not pay tax on the first 500,000 dollars. The farmers always had that. Gonna be hard to sell your asset to your child if you are a plant worker.
Last time I checked the Asians or Europeans were not allowed to destroy farmlands or be given operations in the prairies but they still do it on the Grand Banks.
So custodial management, joint management, early retirement, income stabilization,and bait subsidization remain unattended to.
Strahl------5 billion
Loyola------10 million
and now for some more great news....
