Sticking to the question (Which party is better for fishery?), the answer is really quite obvious. The Liberal Party has demonstrated that it is not for the fishery in any way,shape or form. Therefore, the Conservative deserves an opportunity to put their party on the line for fisheries.

I guess I'm of the same feeling.not really liking the idea of voting any of them at the moment. trust is a big issue with me.

finding your limits is fun, it can also be VERY painful.

If you care about Canada's future, get involved by holding your MLA's & MP's accountable!! don't just be sheep!!

If we bring back the Liberals I feel they will just continue to cave into the F/N demands for more and more fishing opportunities. One just has to look what has happened on the Fraser River the last few seasons, race based fisheres, drift netting on the Fraser River as far up as Chilliwack,some bands fishing whenever they wish, beach seining of pinks where only the does were taken for their roe (bucks discarded as well as other species retained against the regulations) and the lack of enforcement. In my mind these facts should concern those that are interested in saving our precious fish for future generations.

This lack of enforcement has allowed the Early Stuart sockeye to be fished to dangerous levels. Now we have the Thompson River coho to be listed as endangered. These coho stocks have been netted by some fishing sectors for years when they were closed to all during these coho's migration period.

We are now nearing a time when we the sports angler could be the ones listed as endangered. If for no other reason lets give the Conservative a chance to see if they can do a better job of managing our fish stocks before we have reached the point of no return. :( :(

It can not get much worse.
I now retract this. :-[

History has shown all the political parties don't really give a damn about the fishery, except come election time.

It takes a big man to admit when you're wrong Chris - I salute you!  I have a funny feeling that you're not the only one that regrets voting for the Harper Government  ;)
