"The dedicated Minister of Fisheries and Aquaculture will be tasked with:

1. Standing Up to Ottawa – Demanding joint control of the fishery with Ottawa, while maintaining exclusive provincial control over processing. A PC government will fight harmful federal decisions, such as the closure of the mackerel fishery and reductions in quotas, such as crab.
2. Strengthening Industry Collaboration – Ensuring no policy or legislative changes are made without confirming they support, not hinder, the fishery.
3. Growing Value and Markets – Focusing on adding value to the products we harvest and identifying new markets to increase the sector’s overall worth.
4. Supporting Sustainable Aquaculture – Backing the aquaculture industry through a world-class regulatory regime that balances environmental protection with responsible growth.
5. Protecting Coastal Jobs – Advocating for full provincial control over offshore marine development and opposing federal overreach, including the proposed Marine Protected Area on Newfoundland’s South Coast."
