Sharing costs

High Dollar Worries Fishermen - Jan 5, 2008

FFAW President Earle McCurdy says ways should be found to offset the impact of the high Canadian dollar on the fishery. McCurdy says the price of crab, for example, could be 20 or 30 cents less this year as a result. McCurdy has written a letter to Premier Danny Williams hoping that the issue will be discussed at next week's First Minister's meeting in Ottawa. He says the federal government could help by investing in fisheries renewal since the province has already agreed to a cost-shared program.

And everybody knows how so very hard it is to get the provincial government to "agree" that the federal government should pay 30% (40%, 50%, 60%, 70%) of the cost of something.
