5. – MR. KEVIN POLLARD (Baie Verte - Springdale) – To Move:

“WHEREAS the Northern Shrimp fishery is an extremely important fishery in Newfoundland and Labrador;

AND WHEREAS both the inshore and offshore sectors have a history in this fishery and are both important drivers of economic activity in the Province;

AND WHEREAS the inshore sector is adjacent to the northern shrimp resource, has been involved in the fishery since 1997, and was given permanent status in 2007;

AND WHEREAS the application of the Last In, First Out (LIFO) policy in the face of quota cuts has had an extremely disproportionate impact on the inshore sector;

AND WHEREAS Last In, First Out (LIFO) is a policy which is only applied to the northern shrimp fishery;

AND WHEREAS continued application by the Government of Canada of the LIFO policy for northern shrimp will result in widespread economic ruin for hundreds of rural communities in Newfoundland and Labrador and the thousands of our people who earn their living from the northern shrimp resource;

BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED that the House of Assembly urges the Government of Canada to discontinue the LIFO policy and replace the allocation policy for northern shrimp with a new sharing arrangement that is fair to both valued fleets.”
