It's not the CTV news segment, but MSNBC has a good summary of it online.

More on this in the Vancouver Sun today. It seems like certain fishing practices like bottom netting for fish stocks devoid the whole area of all marine life.
Conservative Latoya Hearn supports good old bottom netting and the harm it brings. If anyone wondered to what happened to the great cod fishing we had here I would suggest they look up when they started to allow commercial types to use this method, and how quickly the fishing went down hill. I remember.
Makes Keith Wilson bridge look like fish conservation. :-\
