I am pleased to rise today to inform this House that the Special Panel on Corporate Concentration in the Fishing Industry, has completed its deliberations and has submitted its final report to me. As promised when this panel was convened on September 6 of this year, and in keeping with this government�s policy of openness and accountability, government will release this report today. I would like to commend the panel which was chaired by Mr. Les Dean, along with panel members Mr. Sam Walters and Mr. Harold Wareham. These individuals were asked to undertake an enormous and complex task, in a very short period of time. I would like thank the panel on behalf of government and the people of Newfoundland and Labrador, for their important work. We are now in the process of completing a thorough review of the panel�s report, and evaluating the implications and feasibility of implementing the recommendations. I am confident this report will be a great asset in future fisheries policy frameworks. Thank you. 2001 11 29 1:45 p.m. Link to Report on Corporate Concentration in the Fishing Industry |
