Political break: The lower house is not before the summer. It will resume on September 15. The Senate will be again on September 23.
MPs in the summer: As part of this weekly summer edition of the newsletter, we check with MPs about what they intend to do while the commons is during the break. This week the focus is on Alexis Deschênes, The new Bloc Québécois member for driving Gaspésie-Les-de-la-Madeleine-Listuguj. (He defeated the former Minister of Liberal Fisheries Diane Lebouthillier in the Federal Elections of April.)
His driving, over the eastern part of the Gaspé -Schiereiland and the Magdalen Islands, is more than 17 times the size of New York. It contains two time zones.
Under the priorities of Deschênes, the return from Via Rail to the Gaspé Bay facilitates for the first time since 2013. “People talk a lot about it,” he said. “I can assure them that I am determined in exerting as much pressure as I am able to go through Rail so that it can return.”
As for this summer: “I would not call this a summer free. It has been pretty busy for me because I am new and have had to do many things at the same time, like hiring people. I have six different offices in my large driving, so we had to negotiate that and ensure that the furniture comes in and things like this.
I have done a lot of traveling to all corners of my driving. Last Sunday I just completed a tour through the peninsula with the leader of the Québécois block, Yves-François Blanchet. We have visited the many parts of driving and we will also go to the Magdalen Islands. It is therefore a continuous tour of the region.
What I had introduced to people of my driving during the campaign was that I would listen, bring people together and take action. This is still what I do. As a former journalist I take my notebook everywhere I go, and I finally have an impressive list of homework to do. You must use your power as a member of parliament, so I have a list of things I want to do during this month, to prepare letters, make performances and get information. “

The Lobster industry of Canada is good, but we cannot take the good times for granted.
As I found during the investigation of my book, The Lobster Trap, there is a Golden Rush mentality on the water in Canada and the US and the race to catch as many lobsters as possible, exerts pressure on shares in ways that have never been seen before. As a journalist who grew up in the Maritimes during the Great Lobster Boom in the nineties, I considered Lobster as something cheap and abundant – so abundant that they once turned it into a McDonald sandwich. I was surprised how many insiders from the industry told me that they were now worried about the future of fishing.
