Ottawa proposes redistributing 27% of Nova Scotia's eel catch, facing criticism for potential unfairness.

Ottawa plans to redistribute the wealth from Nova Scotia's baby eel (elver) harvest, moving 27% of the total catch from large license holders to 120 individual fishers. However, the proposal faces criticism for being unfair and unworkable, with concerns over lack of holding tanks, uncertain prices, and unclear river access. Critics also note there's no compensation for license holders losing quotas.
