MP. for Esquimalt—Iuan de Fuca January 11, 2011 Hon. Gail Shea Minister of Fisheries and Oceans House of Commons Ottawa, Ontario K1A 046 Dear Minister Shea, | am requesting that you revisit the allocation of halibut quotas off the West Coast of British Columbia. Current restrictions on the sports fishing side will ruin this industry and there will fewer benefits from this valuable resource. Top value and highest employment should be an overarching ‘objective, with conservation being preeminent. | suggest that a two halibut possession limit per person with a longer season be adopted. Sincerely, Katy Dr. Keith Martin, M.D., P.C., M.P. Esquimalt - Juan de Fuca KMivs ‘wove KeithMartin.org
