MP’s Niki Ashton and James Bezan and commercial fisheries in Manitoba have been calling on the Federal Government to deliver urgent help to commercial fisheries affected by the pandemic.
Ashton stated that the Federal Government has not acted on its promise to help these fisheries and now they are facing a desperate situation.
A letter was sent to the Minister of Fisheries calling on the Federal Government to act urgently and make the Fish Harvester Grant Benefit and Fish Harvester Grant Business programs accessible to fishers.
