Mr. Speaker, northern fishers and producers are facing an economic crisis in their communities. This message was heard 30 years ago in 1969 when the Freshwater Fish Marketing Corporation was created with a northern transportation program.
Will the government now listen to northern fishers who are facing an economic crisis in 1999? Will the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans review the FFMC monopoly on processing and marketing, and will he reinstate a fair transportation program?
