Keep Canada Fishing provided every Member of Parliament with a copy of “Elevating Recreational Fishing to a National Priority” and asked for their position on our recommendations.
To date, we have received responses from a handful of representatives. We will be sharing these responses over the coming weeks. We ask that you consider each response carefully when visiting the polls this fall.
Below is a link to a letter from Ted Falk, Member of Parliament for
Provencher, Manitoba. We have included a few quotes from Mr. Falk.

“CSIA has provided the federal government with an action plan I’m pleased to support and work towards.”
We invite you to review the Canadian Sportfishing Industry Association’s document, Elevating Recreational Fishing to a National Priority, for more details about this very important topic.
