Get your season passes starting Tuesday!

I’m proud to announce the food fishery will now run from Canada Day to Labour Day. Seven days a week for Northern Cod in 2J3KL, weekends and Mondays in 3Ps, 3Pn, and 4RS.

The fall fishery will continue, and we’re getting rid of the boat limit.

These will be the measures each year, providing ongoing predictability for food fishers.

I promised change, and am delivering on that today.

Je suis fière d'annoncer que la pêche alimentaire se déroulera désormais du Jour du Canada à la fête du Travail. Sept jours sur sept pour la morue du Nord dans les zones 2J3KL, et les fins de semaine et lundis dans les zones 3Ps, 3Pn et 4RS.

La pêche d'automne continuera, et nous supprimons la limite par bateau.

Ces mesures s'appliqueront chaque année, offrant une prévisibilité continue aux pêcheurs à des fins alimentaires.

J'ai promis du changement, et je le concrétise aujourd'hui.
