Question Period Note: Support for Public/Recreational Fishery (British Columbia)

• From the onset of this health crisis, our government has worked on an urgent basis to provide our industry with the support they need.
• We expanded the CERB to include those earning up to $1000, seasonal workers and workers who have exhausted their EI.
• Small businesses that depend on the public fishery also have access to more credit through our Canadian Emergency Business Account program.
• As we work with provinces and territories to ensure measures are in place and explore all options, we also continue our work to protect and conserve our wild Pacific fisheries.
• Over the years, our government has taken action and made real investments in the conservation of our stocks, including the $142 million British Columbia Salmon Fund.
