The state of Maine is poised to take a bite out of the Canadian lobster market, warns a P.E.I. MLA.
Colin LaVie, the Opposition fisheries critic, said he’s concerned that Maine has boosted its lobster marketing budget 600 percent in recent months, to more than CAD 2.2 million (USD 2.1 million, EUR 1.6 million).
LaVie said fisheries minister Ron MacKinley isn't acting quickly enough.
