The opinion piece by Phil Eidsvik deals very much with marine (tidal) =
commercial fisheries, not with sport fishery nor with inland fisheries. =
If we truly have a right to fish, going back to the Magna Carta (1215), =
why is it that certain provincial governments auction the right to fish =
on specific salmon rivers in New Brunswick and Quebec to the highest =
bidder? And have been doing so for some 150 years?=20

This is already a reality. For example Clearwater now owns all of the =
offshore lobster quota, most of the offshore scallop quota. The =
remaining scallop quota is owned by other companies.=20
All quotas for groundfish and other species other than some shellfish =
are privately owned. This occurred under the largely liberal governments =
and
has been further developed under the conservative government. These =
people do not even have to fish their quota they can sell their quota to =
others and creat=20
an income that costs them nothing. Fish stocks are no longer a public =
resource, they are now a private chattel.
=20
Sport fish in Nova Scotia are still a public resource and not likely =
to change other than to further be taken over by small mouth bass and =
chain pickerel.

Hi folks,
=20
Any anglers on this list? If so you may be interested in the following =
story:
=20
Praise Queen Victoria for our right to fish
=
http://www.vancouversun.com/life/Praise+Queen+Victoria+right+fish/6669043=
/story.html
=20
Our right to catch fish goes back to 1215 AD and the Magna Carta. The =
public fishery is one of England's great legacies to the =
English-speaking people of the world. Magna Carta is why, unlike =
forests, minerals and land, the people of Canada own the fishery, not =
the government. Why is this suddenly of interest? Hidden inside the =
Harper Conservatives' budget bill are changes that will terminate the =
public's right to fish. As Phil Eidsvik, a commercial fisherman and =
former executive director of the B.C. Fisheries Survival Coalition, =
writes:
=20
"If the budget bill becomes law, the fisheries minister will be able =
to take fish from the public fishery and give it to his friends through =
so-called fishery agreements. The budget bill even lets the minister =
finance his department with the people's fish. Crafty use of fishery =
management agreements may even close certain waters to anyone but the =
friends of the minister."
=20
If you're concerned, read this article - and then contact your Member =
of Parliament.
=20
Cheers!
