Endangered cod may be saved by Rio agreement
Fisheries Minister John Crosbie backs a Rio Earth Summit move toward a conservation pact and an international conference to curb overfishing. The North Atlantic cod crisis threatens 20,000 Newfoundland jobs and a $600 million export industry, with spawning biomass down to 72–110 thousand tonnes. Crosbie hints at a ban on cod fishing for up to five years to rebuild stocks, while potential job retraining programs and costs exceed $800 million annually.

Four provinces differ on MLA office furniture ownership
The article explains that in Nova Scotia Manitoba Saskatchewan and BC MLAs must remove all furniture and equipment purchased for constituency offices when leaving. These items are considered personal property of the MLA though bought with tax dollars. PEI and New Brunswick lack such allowances. Newfoundland holds items as provincial property for three years before transfer. Quebec Ontario and Alberta keep capital purchases in the legislature until sold for value. Manitoba is moving toward this approach.
