Without having this moved to the political thread...this is EXACTLY why I dislike liberal politicians..it is all about handouts for doing nothing (esp to groups that whine) If you read between the lines, he was clearly approached buy a commercial fishing organization who is in panic mode about the recent cod status report and are insisting he do something, because either way they are negatively affected. I am sure they feel they are being screwed either way and they need protection and/or assistance from the liberal politician they help get that office.
I would rather see the fishery maintained for its own health regardless of the repercussions to the fishermen or fishing communities. Do what it right for the fish and let the chips fall where they do. No one is forcing anyone to fish or stay in the fishing business. One must adapt or perish in society.
