MONTAGUE — A secret vote on the future of both a lobster marketing levy and a marketing board has been pushed back until October for all P.E.I. fishermen.
The Guardian has learned the secret ballot, tentatively planned for Aug. 29, will now be delayed until October — even though northside fishermen in LFA 24 have already voted in approval of the levy.
“We now have a component in the question about the marketing board and that requires LFA 24 voting again,’’ confirmed Ian MacPherson, general manager of the P.E.I. Fishermen’s Association.
