Closure of Cod FisheriesGovernment Support (May 1, 2003) Honourable senators, I rise today to express my concern that the needs of those dependent on the cod fisheries—literally hundreds of my people—have been overlooked. In the wake of government's decision, a $50-million action plan was announced. Six million dollars of this money will go to study seals to determine, among other things, whether or not seals eat cod. For the people of my province who, according to one media report, represent 92 per cent of those impacted by the decision, compensation will include a $25-million "relief package.'' This essentially translates into make-work projects. I just do not believe in make- work projects. They are merely a quick fix to a much deeper problem. Honourable senators, surely we can agree that make-work projects are not only a waste of public dollars, but an insult to hard-working people like mine, who find themselves in need. It is the equivalent of kicking a strong and proud worker when he is already down. I am appalled by the relief package proposed by this government. There has been no talk of future employment or of any economic development. There has been no mention of what will happen to these people when this relief expires in two seasons.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, private landowners, biologists, and conservationists developed the program to manage red-cockaded woodpecker habitat while allowing private and commercial use of resources. Now, more than 325 landowners have enrolled over 3.6 million acres in 17 states in 32 Safe Harbor Agreements. A film, "Safe Harbors Building Habitat on Common Ground," produced to mark the anniversary event, was featured along with companion publications (at right) at the White House Conference on Cooperative Conservation, August 29-31, 2005, in St. Louis, Missouri.
