I would point out that fish aren't sacrificed in CETA. Fish will, in fact, be a big beneficiary as a result of the removal of very high tariffs on a number of products. They are not being sacrificed in CETA, but will be a winner as a result of CETA.
Having said that, I was not present at or privy to any discussions that took place between the Province of Newfoundland, which was a part of the process, and the federal government in terms of what went behind the decision of the province to remove the minimal processing.
