Canada’s independent fish harvesters generate billions of dollars for the economy annually.
In my first speech as Minister, @FishIndependent and I talked about our shared priorities for helping Canada remain a leader in world-class, sustainable fish and seafood.
Thank you for joining our meeting! Independent fish harvesters are the backbone of the economy of rural coastal communities. We look forward to working with you on the many files facing our industry.

"It is now clearly evident that the government failed to design the program based on how taxes are filed in the fishing industry," federation president Melanie Sonnenberg

“I think they need to back away from this one.” The Trudeau government has sent notices to nearly 4200 fishermen across Canada demanding repayment of COVID relief money rushed out the door in 2020. Many have now been deemed ineligible. cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scot…
On the first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation the CIFHF is pausing to reflect and learn. Coastal communities across this country have strong ties to indigenous communities and the history of the residential school system rests heavy.

2/3 This is just one more example of how the Trudeau Liberals have cost Canadians. Fishers have been hurting because of the pandemic and their needs are not being met. @RABlaney and I stand with the Independent Fish Harvester's Federation.

1/3 The Fish Harvester Benefit Program, which runs until October 1, was supposed to support commercial fishers through a very difficult year. Instead, it’s making life even worse with for over 4000 harvesters as DFO claw backs nearly $18M.

Most of our owner operators work from Small Craft Harbours managed by Harbour Authorities. This financial support for infrastructure is important for all coastal communities who contribute to the #BlueEcomony #Budget2021

Today was Day 1 of our 8th annual meeting. We were pleased to have Minister @BernJordanMP open our meeting to talk about the new regs to support owner operator and the many other issues facing the fishery.
We appreciated the details from @FishOceansCAN on implementation of those regs. Thanks to our members for participating in the new virtual world. @upmmfu @FFAW_Unifor @CountyInshore @FundyNorth @PEIFishAssoc @GMFishAssoc
