It also complained that its
investigations had been
hampered by the
unavailability of a copy of
the budget except in the
public library.

“Recognized organizatio-
ns could make valuable
contributions to the
budgeting processes if they
had the data available for
analyses,” it stated.

We are subscribing to

seen three good movies.
It does not bother me that
the same movie is aired a
number of times. Yes, we

Gone fishing ... at council

FISHING FOR solutions in a
sea swamped with “too many
boats chasing too few fish” is
the story North Vancouver
council heard Monday from
a group of fishermen seeking
moratorium on the Pearse
Report on B.C.’s fishing
industry.

Members of the United
Fishermen and _ Allied
Workers’ Union attempted to
persuade council members
to support the fishing in-
dustry's bid to shelve the
controversial Pearse Repert
on the future of West Coast
fishing until all those af-
fected have time to analyze

the report's implications.
UFAWU spoksemen

argued that a moratorium is

essential if the industry is to

survive because Pearse’s
report urges’ federal
government officials “to

phase out the commercial
fishing fleet” which would
result in “a bidding war”
among fishermen for the
right to fish.

“He suggests (Pearse).”

the right to fish be put up for
bid and that the bottom 50

fishing licences.”

Pearse’s report will result in
700 roe herring fishermen
losing their jobs in March
because “the department of
fisheries now allows one
vessel to carry a licence for
two areas.”

This doubling up of
licences, claimed the
UFAWU delegation, is not

intended to comserve fish
resources but to “create
unemployment.”

Council will consider the
UFAWU request for suport
at a future meeting and
decide whether the
fishermen's concerns merit
