Dans mon premier discours en tant que ministre, @FishIndependent et moi avons discuté de nos priorités communes pour faire du Canada un chef de file mondial en matière de pratique de pêche et de fruits de mer durables.

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.

A productive two days of discussing priorities and developing strategies during the @FishIndependent AGM! Thank you to the executive and delegates for organizing, delivering, and engaging in sessions this week.
Day 2 of our Annual Meeting wrapped up with closing remarks from Fisheries Minister @JoyceMurray. Thanks so much for joining us to talk about the importance of independent owner operator fisheries. @upmmfu @FFAW_Unifor @FundyNorth @CountyInshore @cblobsters @PEIFishAssoc

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.

Thx to @MartinJonesCBC for speaking to me this morning about delays in federal support fish harvesters & plant workers impacted by covid-19. It's been 83 days since the PM announced these programs but harvesters & plant workers still have no details or timelines. @FFAW_Unifor

Thank you to members of @FFAW_Unifor who supported our proposal to the Federal Government. Also to colleagues and fishing families across #Canada. @FishIndependent @JustinTrudeau @BernJordanMP
After months of advocacy and action by FFAW and our dedicated membership--@JustinTrudeau has announced a $470 million compensation package!
Canadian Independent Fish Harvesters Federation retweeted
I hope this announcement provides some relief to the thousands of fishers impacted by #covid19. The fishery is what keeps so many of our coastal communities thriving. I know this support will be welcome news to many fishing families. @FishIndependent @FFAW_Unifor #nlpoli

Great news for all independent harvesters and coastal communities across this country, Atlantic, Pacific and Arctic. Keeping access in the hands of harvesters is imperative for future generations. @FishIndependent

Protecting the rights of inshore fish harvesters is at the core of our new and modern Fisheries Act. Today we are at Pointe-Sapin in New Brunswick highlighting how our new legislation will ensure that the economic benefits will stay in our coastal communities. #cdnpoli
