Thank you Great Federal Ministers and MP's for allowing us poor ole Newfoundlanders to catch a couple of Cod during the dates YOU set. Oh Great Ones Thank You. We need up raise your pay and benefits for such gesture bestowed upon us to over the $150,000 mark. How do you survive on that ? (As every other Province in Canada fishes all they want and when they want)
