In New Brunswick, life is lived by the sea. For generations, fishers from remote fishing villages have braved the icy cold Atlantic to harvest the most delicious seafood on the planet. 🦞🦀🦐🦪🍁 🌊 nbdeliciouslycanadian.com/

New Brunswick Lobster is lobster at it's best! 🍁 Coming from the pure and icy waters of the Atlantic Ocean, New Brunswick lobster is prized for its hard shell, succulent meat and large claws - and it travels exceptionally well. #NationalLobsterDay #DeliciouslyCanadian

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.

“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…

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
