Minister's meetings with women on the Burin Peninsula a success???????

Read the Release

So Minister Burke came off the BBQ circuit and visited the women of Fortune and Marystown this week. She wanted to know about issues of importance to them.

FISH

That's the answer Joan, FISH >------->
Where are the fish?
What about the plant?
Where are early retirement packages?
What will we do for our families?

It was successful - the Minister can empathize!

The Release says, in part,
"
The transitional office has been established by government to assist those displaced by the closure of the fish plant in Fortune."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The closure? The transitional office?
We need a transitional office alright - one that allows new leadership in the fishery.


What happened to the takeover of FPI, or legislative change, or the great fisheries summit?
Your meeting was a success how?
Have you sued the feds yet?
What you have to offer in the way of "creative thinking" is a Transitional Office - why don't you just buy them a ticket to Alberta or send them to one of that province's recruiting agencies.

You and your colleagues are failures - you are selling out!
Where's the next transitional office going to be set up - or did Cathy D answer that yesterday? Off to Stephenville, with a quick change in Harbour Breton.

Go back to the BBQ circuit - have a burger and see if you can't deliver the bacon.
