The Norway House Fisherman’s Co-Op has spoken out against the Progressive Conservative Government’s decision to give former Norway House Chief and PC Candidate Ron Evans an experimental fishing license.

It was reported that Evans used to have a membership with the fisherman’s Co-Op but it was later revoked when Evans tried to help the Northwest Company to build a gas station and store causing competition with the Co-Ops own fuel station.

It is not clear what the experimental fishing license will allow Evans to do and it is not clear if it will affect his campaign to run in the PC party for The Pas Keemasak Riding in the upcoming provincial election.

No one from the Fisherman’s Co-Op was available for comment.
