Fisheries and Oceans

During question period on fisheries, Conservative members raised concerns about snow crab quota, saying France had been given a 1,500-tonne quota to catch crab in waters controlled by Canada, which they said was worth about $60 million and would harm Newfoundland and Labrador fishers and plant workers. They asked the Prime Minister to cancel the arrangement and defend the industry. The Minister of Fisheries replied that French officials had confirmed no new snow crab licence was issued, that next year’s quotas would be set next year, and that she has strong working relationships with the fishery sector in Newfoundland and Labrador. Parts of the exchange went to personal jabs between members, including remarks about the school nutrition program and how long a member had been absent from the House.Written by AI from the debate.
