Bernadette Jordan Liberal South Shore—St. Margarets, NS

I come from the South Shore of Nova Scotia. It has a huge fishing and lobster industry. One of the concerns we've heard is that we're trying to shut down industry.

I know that's actually not the case. Just because you designate something as an MPA does not mean you cannot commercially fish. Is that correct? It depends on the MPA, I guess.
