Please provide a list of commercial fishing licenses for the East Coast of Canada.
More specifically, I am looking for the name of the individual or company which holds a license
for any species of sea fish and the allocation for each.
I trust as this is a common resource this information is readily available.
If it is available electronically please advise as to how one gets this information.
Thank you,
Sue Kelland-Dyer

I'll take your word for it.
Oh the humanity. Oh the humility of being a Canadian specifically an Atlantic Canadian.
It's is beyond belief the two faced responses, Ducking, propaganda you name it that goes on within DFO.
I would have thought the response would have been very straight forward with a list of quotas and who holds them. Obviously that info would be very revealing and damning for OntarioAwa.
Oh yeah the emails say it all. We are not allowed to know - nor are we allowed to see the deal the DFO signed with the seal protest groups, without ever going to the Supreme Court of Canada.
