Fisheries committee  First of all, if you had the opportunity to come to our facility, you would see that it's not like a typical fish plant that people have in their minds. It's like an operating room. We have people with an average of 21 years' service in our facility and an average age of 50 years.

Fisheries committee  Thank you, Chair. Thank you to the committee for this opportunity this morning. Icewater Seafoods is a family-owned business with an extensive history in the Newfoundland cod fishery. It started seven generations ago when my ancestors came to Newfoundland from Dorset, England.
