Joanne Thompson Liberal
“Our government is investing in Newfoundland and Labrador. We are spending almost $1 billion on small craft harbours to support fishing and create jobs. We are also spending $15 million to clean up lost fishing gear. These programs help our economy and put people to work.”
“Mr. Speaker, while my colleague across the aisle once again gets up and reads the same notes, I want to remind her that in our province of Newfoundland and Labrador, announcements made by this government are resonating. There is almost $1 billion for small craft harbours. Not only does this support the fishing sector, but it also creates jobs. There was an announcement last week of $15 million, $5 million a year, for ghost gear retrieval. The call is out for communities in our province to also participate in this. These programs are building economies, getting people working and growing Canada strong.”
