NunatuKavut Community Council (NCC) President Todd Russell today issued the following statement on the recent shrimp quota decision made by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO):

“We are outraged by DFO’s latest shrimp quota decision. It results in continued cuts in Shrimp Fishing Areas (SFA) 5 and 6 off the shores of NunatuKavut and a complete shut-out in SFA 4, which is experiencing a significant increase. As we have said many times, this is just another crippling reduction without any response measures, contributing to the continued decimation of our 2J fishers, processors and communities. DFO Minister Joyce Murray chose to double-down on the unfairness in the fishery and, once again, gave our resources to offshore, non-adjacent interests.

Our people are deeply connected to the sea and the fishery that make up NunatuKavut. NCC’s proposals and approach has always been reasonable and well-supported. We want a fair and principled approach to allocations that recognizes our adjacency, Indigenous rights, cultural attachment and our great economic need. For decades, our participation in the fishery has been consistently marginalized and our fishers have been continually denied access.

I am appalled and sickened by the decisions being made by the Minister of DFO. Her latest series of quota decisions are exclusionary, discriminatory and a slap in the face to their supposed agenda of Indigenous reconciliation. It also infringes upon our Indigenous and Treaty rights.

Let me be clear. We will not be starved out of own fishery in our own waters. NCC will be pursuing the management of our fishery that feeds our families, ensures the livelihood of our fishers and people and sustains our communities.”

Quebecers and hockey fans around the world will be giving Canadians Legend Guy Lafleur a final send-off today as the province holds a national funeral in his honor.

CBC News Network will be live from Mary Queen of the World Cathedral this morning at 8 am Island time. A network special following the ceremony, with live translation, will begin at 10am. Local programming from Montreal will continue the coverage throughout the day.

Lafleur, who captured the Stanley Cup titles and was a hockey hero in Quebec long before his playing days, died after a series of prolonged health issues, including lung cancer. He was 70 years old.

The funeral for the man known affectionately as the Demon Blond will begin at 11am. ET at Mary Queen of the World Cathedral in downtown Montreal.

The ceremony follows 2 days visitations at the Bell Centre, where thousands lined for hours for a chance to pay their respects.

A Montreal radio special will run on 88.5am – and across the stations of Quebec Community Network- this morning at 11am to 1:30pm ET, hosted by Shawn Apel and cohosted by Shawn Lyons, including live updates from the scene from local reporters.

In remembering the Flower, he was a gift for us: thousands come to say goodbye to Guy Lafleur at Montreal Bell Centre.

And 34 years later, Guy Lafleur is remembered by the small Inuit village that welcomed him. Goodbye to Lafleur.

Tomorrow (Wednesday, May 4), provincial and territorial emergency management organizations will be issuing public test messages through Alert Ready, the national emergency alerting system. Newfoundland and Labrador will issue one test message to be distributed over television, radio and to compatible wireless devices at 10:55 a.m. (10:25 a.m. in most of Labrador).

The Alert Ready system was developed with many partners including federal, provincial, and territorial emergency management officials, Environment and Climate Change Canada, Pelmorex, the broadcasting industry and wireless devices of imminent or unfolding threats to life.

It is important to note that not all Canadians will receive the test alert on their wireless device. This may occur for a variety of reasons, including device compatibility, connection to an LTE network, cell tower coverage, device software and settings.

To learn more about the Alert Ready system and to check your device compatibility, visit www.AlertReady.ca.
