Fisheries ministers in Canada have committed to working together to benefit the country's aquaculture industry.
In a meeting held in Quebec, the ministers discussed three challenges the fisheries and aquaculture industry faces: developing the lobster industry, protecting fisheries and preventing invasive aquatic species form entering Canadian waters.
“Today was a day of collaboration between federal, provincial and territorial partners,” said the Honourable Gail Shea, Minister of Fisheries and Oceans Canada. “We want to see our fisheries and aquaculture industries grow and we remain committed to working together to protect our fisheries’ productivity and develop the fishing and aquaculture industries to ensure its sustainable future in Canadian waters.”
“It was a pleasure to welcome the federal, provincial and territorial fisheries and aquaculture ministers and to share our priorities and directions. Our government will continue to support initiatives that help make Quebec’s fisheries and aquaculture industry a prosperous industry that creates well-paying jobs, is environmentally responsible and contributes to the highest and best use of our territory’s resources,” said Jeannine Richard, Parliamentary Assistant to the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food and MNA for Îles-de-la-Madeleine.
