WITLESS BAY, N.L.—The debate surrounding the allocation of northern cod quotas has recently ignited a storm of controversy, and for good reason. Sylvie Lapointe, president of the Atlantic Groundfish Council, claims there is 'misleading information in the public domain' regarding the commitment of allocating the first 115,000 tonnes of northern cod to inshore harvesters and Indigenous groups in Newfoundland and Labrador.
This move is nothing short of an insult to the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, and the nearly full suite of Liberal MPs who have been suspiciously silent on the brazen assault on provincial sovereignty. Reopening the dragger fishery as soon as the stock enters the ‘cautious’ zone is a grave mistake.
