Premier Kathy Dunderdale (via NTV):
We’re looking for a ‘carve-out’ on the minimum processing regulations … so they’ll be exempted, and we want access to the European market on a number of our fish lines…
Carve out.
Hideous jargon for “not going to trade away” minimum processing regulations.
Period.
Fisheries minister Derrick Dalley (via the Telegram):
Fisheries Minister Derrick Dalley was at a media event in St. John’s Tuesday, where he assured reporters that the provincial government is not going to give away minimum processing requirements unless it’s a good deal.
Not going to trade away minimum processing requirements.
Oh wait.
There’s more.
