![]() The Flick Stick control scheme is primarily designed for 3D shooter games with the intent of bringing the perceived advantages of mouse aiming to controllers, while addressing shortcomings of traditional first-person shooter controller schemes.įlick Stick was designed by game developer Julian "Jibb" Smart in 2018. Our northern cod never had a chance after central Canadian politicians and bureaucrats took total control over it, which I might add didn't take long after we joined Confederation.Flick Stick is a video game control scheme designed for gyroscopic game controllers. They used this stock as a slush fund to appease foreign countries for their trade and investment initiatives with central Canada. Large Canadian fish companies were given a free hand to build larger ice-strengthened draggers, with federal government money supplied mostly by DREE, the old Department of Regional Economic Expansion.Įxternal Affairs had more say over the management, or rather the mismanagement, of northern cod than DFO. The cod were once again fished on the spawning grounds all winter, assuring its demise. Then DFO started giving bigger quotas to foreign and domestic fleets. So after the 200-mile limit was imposed in 1977, the stock started to rebuild. ![]() This was going on continually-summer and winter. When you come down by the police station, at the top of the hill, and off the Catalina area as you come down to Melrose, on this high ground, on the highway coming down there, it was just like a city, right into four and five miles of the land. The farther you got down towards Bonavista.I don't know, you may not be familiar with this, because you were just there once, but, Mr. The foreign boats and domestic boats were coming within three miles of the coast. Coming out in the night, from the time we got partway down the Bonavista peninsula, when you brought open any part of the ocean, all you could see were lights. I drove a beer truck for 10 years for my father and made weekly trips to St. Prior to that I was a part-time fisherman. I've fished full time for the past 28 years. It all began with the foreign dragger fleets that attacked the stock on a year-round basis from the early 1960s to the mid-1970s, until they were stopped by the 200-mile limit enforced in 1977. Politicians, DFO scientists, and bureaucrats never had a clue that the stock was in trouble until it was virtually too late to do anything about it. It will be interspersed with more information from my speaking notes.įor many years prior to the collapse of the northern cod in 1992, the only people with any idea of its imminent demise were the inshore fishermen. I'll start off by reading from my written presentation. Douglas Sweetland, Hedley Butler, Albert Johnson, George Feltham, and Pearce Burry. That said, we have representing us today, Mr. We'll start off with one round, from the Conservatives, the Bloc Québécois, the NDP, and of course the government side as well.Īs we have to provide interpretation in French, it would help our interpreters very much if you could speak at a reasonable pace to give them enough time. ![]() Okay, we'll deal with it as it comes, but each of you would like something to say, so we've allotted that amount of time.Īfter that, we'll go through questioning. Pearce Burry (Panel of Inshore Fishermen): It depends on the information. George Feltham (Panel of Inshore Fishermen): Possibly 10 minutes. Douglas Sweetland: I'll take all 10 of them. Scott Simms): Well, you won't go over 10 minutes. Douglas Sweetland (Panel of Inshore Fishermen): It could be possibly 8, 10 or 15 minutes. Will each of you be using the 10 minutes to speak?ĭoug, you're going to be speaking for 10 minutes? We've allotted 10 minutes for each speaker. We have as witnesses a panel of inshore fishermen, representation from the Bonavista area-not just Bonavista but the whole area. Once again, this is the extension of the Standing Committee on Fisheries and Oceans, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), the study on the northern cod, including the events leading to the collapse of the fishery and the failure of the stock to re-establish itself since the moratorium. We're going to move along with the scheduled orders of the day. Scott Simms (Bonavista-Gander-Grand Falls-Windsor)): I call this afternoon's session to order.
