In 2021 we surveyed 100 harvesters to understand the perception of risk to species change in the industry. Over 55% noted they see species change happening. The next stage of our study is happening now ✏️ Check out some more models and species below!




Canada’s independent fish harvesters generate billions of dollars for the economy annually. In my first speech as Minister, @FishIndependent and I talked about our shared priorities for helping Canada remain a leader in world-class, sustainable fish and seafood.







“I think they need to back away from this one.” The Trudeau government has sent notices to nearly 4200 fishermen across Canada demanding repayment of COVID relief money rushed out the door in 2020. Many have now been deemed ineligible. cbc.ca/news/canada/no…




🇨🇦’s seafood sector brings in over $6 billion per year. 90% of that product comes through small craft harbours. #Budget2021 invests $300 million to upgrade & build better SC harbours. More jobs in our coastal communities ➡️ a stronger #BlueEconomy for Canada.

Thank you to the @GMFishAssoc for hosting us for whale rescue training - and a big thank you to the fishermen who have undergone this training to expand the response personnel.

Thank you to partners in New Brunswick for meeting with me to discuss Canada's #BlueEconomy strategy. #NB has so many coastal communities that would directly benefit from stronger, more sustainable ocean industries. Together, we’re building a plan to make that happen.
