It is a hungry world, China fishing fleet will be soon visiting the westcoast and Alaska international fishing grounds. The more affluent people become the greater the meat/fish consumption.

The feds did that years ago when they bought up lobster licenses on the east coast. It protects stocks and keeps the fishing industry sustainable for generations to come.

Meanwhile the american fleet grows every day. The first nations people can tie nets across rivers and bring in thousands of fish daily. We are merely destroying our industry, not protecting anything.

You mean the Liberals simply want to buy out all non-Indigenous fisherman to turn the industry over to Indigenous people for their “traditional” commercial way of living.

NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! Don’t do it!!!!!!!!

you mean trushit wants to buy (steal) commercial fishing licences from Canadians and sell them to china . cbc is the propaganda arm of the nazi party of Canada .

Every day

How about following thru on the promise to eliminate the fish farms that are spreading disease and killing wild salmon - like WA, OR, AK

Food reduction plan. WEF AGENDA

Don't renew fish farms licences

Why not just take licenses away ? That's what they do in other industries

Spending leads to inflation. My god! Doesn't the government understand this?

Tough to have a wild salmon fishery when the rivers are gill-netted by people who can't be stopped from doing it.

Kinda like buying guns back to keep us safe🙃🙄

Why are the taxpayers buying fishing licenses instead of just canceling the licenses at the end of the year. Is this like milk production quotas that we buy back? Licenses and quotas should all expire every 2 or 3 years. They should not last forever.

To bad they can’t protect our resources from China and Russian fishing

The asians will just come over and fish

Sounds like they want to control all of our food chain, hmmmm
