The Nunatsiavut Assembly passed a new Bill that provides the Nunatsiavut Government legislative authority and oversight with respect to the collection of access fees from fishers.
We spoke with Todd Broomfield who is the Director of Renewable Resources for NG.
He says on June 14, 2023, during the Nunatsiavut Assembly sitting they passed the bill for the access fee and on the amount of fish resources landed under designations.
The monies collected from the access fees are allocated to the Nunatsiavut Commercial Fisheries Fund, which was established to hold funds for the purpose of growing and promoting the commercial fishery in the Labrador Inuit Settlement Area.
