Welcome to Corridors. We’ve been sharing this space with contributors as obsessed as we are with policy and Canadian politics. Today’s guest host is Sean Speer, editor at large at The Hub (thehub.ca), a new digital media platform focused on Canadian policy and governance. He is also the PPF Scotiabank Fellow at the Public Policy Forum and an assistant professor at the University of Toronto s Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy. Sean previously served as a senior economic adviser to former Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Over to you, Sean.

VANCOUVER, BC, April 7, 2021 /CNW/ - Improving the environmental sustainability of our seafood sectors while ensuring they remain competitive in the marketplace is a shared goal of British Columbians. The Government of Canada is committed to supporting that goal through targeted investments in new technology. These are solutions that will help the sector become cleaner, greener and more sustainable.
Today, the Member of Parliament for Burnaby North Seymour and Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard, Terry Beech, on behalf of the Minister, the Honourable Bernadette Jordan, announced funding of over $5.4 million from the Fisheries and Aquaculture Clean Technology Adoption Program to support 36 projects that are contributing to clean economic growth in British Columbia. The Province of British Columbia also announced a contribution of more than $785,000 in funding towards these projects.
