THE FISHERMAN — SEPTEMBER 2, 1966
CLAIR
eastern provinces have given political and financial recognition to their fisheries by allocating large sums of money and in most cases appointing a minister of fisheries."
He pledged himself as in complete agreement with the Union's stand that Canadian salmon should be taken by Canadian fishermen, that Canada should unilaterallv declare a 12 mile limi; from headland to headland baselines, and that multi-nation treaties should be negotiated to protect Canada's historic fisheries.
"A fisheries minister who was doing his job would be giving leadership on these matters, and that includes some form of licence limitation to guarantee fishermen a chance to make a decent income," Clair stated.
CORSBIE RUNNING MATE
His running mate in Little Mountain is Joe Corsbie, long associated with the BC fishing in> dustry through his former positions as manager and director of the Gulf and Fraser Fishermen's Credit Union.
Clair's views are shared by other candidates of the New Democratic Party, including John Lennox, who is running in Prince Rupert, Frank Calder, Atlin candidate and sitting member, and other NDP candidates.
Calder was particularly outspoken in favor of the Union's program during hearings before the select standing committee on fisheries which held extended hearing during the last session of the legislature.
In spite of a united stand by all sections of the fishing industry — companies, vessel owners, and Union — in favor of a department of fisheries, the government has given no indication of any move in this direction. i
"I can assure you," Clair told The Fisherman, "that if the NDP is elected, it will put the BC fishing industry back into its proper place in the province's economy."
