Mr. Speaker, to become a recipient under the Atlantic groundfish strategy program one must prove "an historical attachment to the groundfishery" but not need.
It was reported this flaw allowed Prince Edward Island's snow crab fishermen to make $200,000 last summer, then only five weeks later collect $340 per week under the TAGS program. Why? Because they once had an historical attachment to the groundfish industry.
Will the Minister of Human Resources Development amend his disastrous social program experiment so that need is the primary eligibility criteria?
