Adjournment Proceedings

In adjournment proceedings, Jonathan Rowe (Conservative) raised the recreational food fishery in Newfoundland and Labrador, saying families rely on fishing to lower their grocery bills and should be allowed to fish seven days a week instead of the current three, since bad weather limits their days on the water. He said the Liberals voted against his private member’s bill on false grounds that it would add fees and tags. Ernie Klassen (Liberal parliamentary secretary) replied that the bill was reckless and would have threatened the livelihoods of harvesters, plant workers and communities in Atlantic Canada, and that the government is instead consulting local fishers to protect the food fishery without new costs. Rowe responded that his bill imposed no fees and pointed to what he called the government’s inaction on seals; Klassen repeated that the bill would have added fees and rules for food fishers and noted the government’s survey of over 9,500 people did not support it.Written by AI from the debate.
