Baie des Chaleurs Economy

Over the past few decades, many of the communities along the coast, from Gaspé Town all the way to New Richmond, lost major industries -- the copper mine, the Gaspesia mill, Smurfit-Stone. But there's new hope in communities along the Gaspé coast that economic times are changing for the better. In the final installation of our look at industry along the Baie des Chaleurs, Quebec AM's Glenn Wanamaker brings us stories of about growth, opportunity, and challenge.
Part two:

The Baie des Chaleurs has lost some big industries over the last decade, but there's reason to think the tide is turning. Today, as we continue our series on the area's economy, we'll look at the prospects in the fishery. The CBC's Glenn Wanamaker was in the region earlier this year, and spoke to a few different people about the state of the industry. We hear from Jeffrey Vautier, board member of the professional fishermen's association for le Sud-de-la-Gaspésie, Shigawake and Gino Lebrasseur, general manager of Unipêche MDM plant who also serves as Mayor of Paspebiac.
