Canadian fisheries minister Joanne Thompson states that France has not issued a new snow crab license off Newfoundland, contradicting a promise made by French President Emmanuel Macron. The Canadian government asserts its claim to the continental shelf and insists no foreign fishing is permitted in the disputed area until an agreement is reached.
Canada's fisheries minister, Joanne Thompson, clarified on Friday that France has not issued a new snow crab license off Newfoundland, contrary to a promise made by French President Emmanuel Macron.
The Canadian government confirmed with French officials that no new license was granted, despite reports in French media suggesting Macron had pledged an exploratory crab license to a company in St-Pierre-Miquelon. This development follows a meeting between Prime Minister Mark Carney and Macron in the French islands, which marked the first official visit by a Canadian PM to the archipelago.
Canada maintains that it has a strong claim to the extension of its continental shelf, which includes the area where the French crab fishery would be located. The issue remains a topic of diplomatic discussion between the two nations, with Canada asserting its rights over the snow crab resources in the disputed region.
