(February 22, 2022) – Craig Pardy, PC Official Opposition Shadow Minister of Fisheries and MHA for Bonavista, today issued a letter to Federal Fisheries Minister Joyce Murray asking for clarification of the Minister’s plans for Newfoundland and Labrador’s fishery.

“The people of Newfoundland and Labrador have yet to hear clarity from the Minister on January’s comments which put the future of our fishery into question. I hope to speak directly with the Minister to show her the importance of our fishery to Newfoundland and Labrador, and especially the district of Bonavista,” said Pardy.

“Decisions about the future of our fishery cannot be made without Newfoundland and Labrador at the table. It’s too important to our future, to our economy, and our heritage. I am hopeful for a conversation with Minister Murray that can set the record straight and ensure Newfoundland and Labrador’s voice is heard at the federal table.”

A copy of the letter sent to Minister Murray’s office can be found attached.
