"Canadian political parties have not dealt with the problems that our society must face".

The Seal Harvest:
A seal harvest should only be implemented when markets are available for the whole animal. A seal harvest should not be used in an attempt to enhance fisheries.

Newfoundland Inshore Fishermen sell Seal Carcasses on St. John's city wharf.  Note the Estonian offshore trawler OSKAR LUTS in the background.

The Capelin Fishery:
Since capelin are the major food source of cod, seabirds and many whales, a moratorium needs to be called for capelin until the numbers rebound.

Waste Importation:
Newfoundland and Labrador should adopt a policy which bans the importation of any waste materials from outside the province.

Environmental Regulations:
Under no circumstances should an industry or individual be pardoned of any regulation or standard concerning environmental law.

Waste Treatment: Every municipality should be required to treat waste, at least primarily.

Recycling:
Every household and office should be charged per unit of waste . From these revenues each municipality could support a blue box program.

Logging:
Clear cutting of timber should be banned.
