Cuts will hurt lakes' fishery, says Hamipton Natural Resources Minister Howard Hampton says that proposed federal spending cuts te, fisheries programs on the Great Lakes wiU hurt, the health of the lakes and have a negative impact on people who fish in the lakes and depend on the lalces for their livelihood. "The Great Lakes are the largest fresbwater fisheries in the world," said Hampton upon bis return from the federal/provincial Fisheries Minister's conference in British Columbia. "These proposed cuts will hurt, the Great Lakes fisbery and the communities wbo depend on that fishery." The Great Lakes account for 41 per cent of the sport fishery and 97 per cent of the commercial fisbery in Ontario. The combined fishery supports 39,000 jobs and generates about $750 million in economic activity. The Great Lakes and its fishery are aise important for teurism and the tourism economy. The impacts will ho feit most acutely in fishing and teurisrn communities such as Port Dover, Wheatley, Owen Sound, Sault St. Marie an-d Thunder Bay. "The federal governinent has constit-utional and international responsibilities for the Great Lakes, and if they follow through with their proposed cute they will ho failing in their responsibility in this area," said Hampton. 'These cuts mean less commitment te, important programns that ensure the healtb of the Great Lalces and benefits te Canadians from freshwater fisheries," said the niinister. "The federal govemment needs te, maintain research and operational programns aimied at fulfilling their statutery and international obligations," Hampton added. "Funding for fisheries is vital in a province like Ontario that bolds se mucb of the world's freshwater ecosystems," Hampton said. 'We are willing te assist the federal government toE fnd other piartners and reduce duplication. But the burden cannot rest on Ontario's shoulders alone. "We cannot allow Great Lakes fisheries te go thbe way of the Atlantic and Pacific coasts."
