Government Response to the Standing Committee on Fisheries and Oceans (4467 words) |
| The Committee recommends that, where local agreements can be reached to make room for new aboriginal entrants by fishermen each voluntarily giving up a portion of their quota of lobster traps, in a manner that does not increase the overall fishing effort, the federal government should support those agreements. |
| It is the cornerstone of the vision of todays commercial fishery: a fishery that is sustainable, viable and self-reliant. |
| The Committee recommends that, as licences are transferred to aboriginal groups, particularly in the lobster fishery, a way must be found to prevent excessive localized fishing effort in order to avoid adversely affecting the health of stocks, particularly in sensitive areas such as spawning and nursery grounds. |
