What a time; no worries, no cares, just them and those Labrador sport fish. It was very educational for the Federal Fisherman. During his time there he almost learned the difference between the salmon and a sucker.</p>\n<p>I am sure the member for Burin\u2014St. George's urges the Federal Fisherman to make this an annual event so that every July he spends his hard-earned dollars in Labrador. And just like this July, the minister can celebrate his return by flying over Prince Rupert and the salt water fishermen far below.</p>\n<p>Is it not wonderful that the Prime Minister does not subtract days spent fishing in Labrador from a minister's shelf life.</p>",
