The Recommendations: 1) The Panel recommends the establishment of an Independent Maritime Lobster Market Intelligence Institute. 2) The Panel recommends that industry and governments come together to develop and implement a Comprehensive Generic Marketing and Promotion Campaign for Canadian lobster. 3) Within the Maritime Provinces, the Panel recommends the development and implementation of a price-setting mechanism for determining price pre-season provided that such a mechanism is based in legislation, is not mandatory, but once engaged by a particular fleet or group, the price negotiated becomes the minimum legal price that can be paid to that fleet or group. 4)The Panel recommends that a process be set up to collect an “Industry Levy” to support the above three recommendations for structural change. This levy to be in the amount of one cent to be paid by fishermen for each pound landed, and an additional one cent per pound landed, paid by onshore sectors.
