FFMC Not Ideal For Southern Fishers

In light of the Manitoba Government withdrawing for participation from the Freshwater Fish Marketing Corportation, MLA Kelly Bindle says fishers will still have the option to be part of the FFMC.

 

The Norway House Fisherman's Co-op is still choosing to maintain its relationship with FFMC after the government's decision, saying the corporation provided stability and security for their fishers.

 

Bindle says withdrawing from the FFMC is more helpful for the Interlake area because of the access they have with markets. Northern Manitoba needs the FFMC because of limited access.

 

The move is to help fishers find their own market, which was originally limited from the FFMC and even caused lawsuits in some cases.
