FISHY FRASER €

between native fishermen’s groups and John

Te was a revealing little exchange last week

Fraser, the six-month-old federal fisheries
minister. I’m afraid it portends poorly for the West

Coast fishery.

Pardon me if I sound
selective, but I found it
amazing shat the other Coast
Tory heavyweight (oops, I’ll
get killed for that!), Pat
Carey, was busy suffering
the slings and arrows of the
cabinet rejecting her rec-
Oommendation of the ap-
pointment of an anti-nuclear

type to the Atomic Energy.

Commission Board (thereby
winning her immense points
out here), while all. John
Fraser could do was let
himself be caught in a sleazy
little. plot to cut West Coast
native fishermen out of the
fisheries . action entirely.
NOT a cool! move.

: Carney: A healthy point!

Fraser: Go to the back of the ~

class!
