What are you seeing out there?

Well...

Poaching, most people come to think of it as getting an animal and selling it.

But poaching is so many other various ways and by breaking the law.

And what I think myself personally is happening is that the lack of enforcement.

or not so much of the enforcement around.

And because, so I see something, a bird or a moose, and I think, well, it's questionable.

What's the latest on that?

Mm-hmm.

If you're not, if you're not picking the apples and using them for yourself, please consider picking them and donating them to either Sharing the Harvest or to a food bank in your neck of the woods.

Uh, it's just terrible to waste, see they're all on the ground.

Brian, I also, uh, this year teamed up with the Newfoundland Labrador Outfitter Association again, and we have do- and they have donated two deep, stand-up deep freezers to, um, Northeast Avalon and to Divine Mercy Food Bank, so that's great.

I'd also like to thank the Rotary Club of St. John's Northwest.

They've g- gave me a very generous donation, financial donation to operate again this year, so thank you to them.

And Brian, m- a bit of a criticism that's with the, uh, Department of, uh, Wildlife.

Okay.

Go right

ahead.

So I'm calling about the press release that the Food Fisheries Committee has issued earlier this week regarding the proposed extension for a seven-day fishing week for the 15-fish weekly limit for the month of August.

As we know, the food fishers on the south and west coast have already lost a lot of time already due to the weather, the high winds in that prime.

And they shouldn't stay ashore because of the risk that is to themselves if they happen to try to go out in this bad weather.

Each person who is of the appropriate age, whatever their age is, I don't know, is allocated 15 fish weekly as it stands now.

So there's already an allocation for the south and west coast.

And it's almost, it still is an afterthought despite the tragedies, the senseless tragedies that continue to haunt us.

That's for sure.

No, indeed it doesn't, Brian.

Next up, as you know, I'm the founder of the Sharing the Harvest program.

We're the group that buy and donate country food, moose, caribou, fish, berries, etc.

to food banks and senior citizens and persons with disabilities.

I'm implementing a fish donation day, Brian.

Starting this weekend, I'm asking fishers and the food fishery fighters' Facebook page, that's an awful, about what we're doing.

Absolutely.

Anytime,

Barry.

Yes, thank you.

I just want to touch base with you about the Food Fishery as this week comes to an end.

Yes, sir.

What has not come to an end, Brian, is the Food Fishery Fighters' resolve to ensure that all of our provinces' food fisheries are treated equally and fairly.

especially when it comes to safety on our waters.

One last thing,
