Fishermen celebrated their victory in Newfoundland on Friday.
It's very moving. I finally feel like I have a future, says fisherman Colin Kennedy, his voice trembling.
We've been waiting for this day for a long time. “It’s going to change everything for us,” says fisherman Wayne Meade, visibly moved. Things are about to change.

Fishermen are jumping for joy after the announcement of an agreement reached with the government.

The fishermen have been making their discontent known to the government since the beginning of March and had toughened their tone since Wednesday. They demanded more competition in the fishing industry.
The fishermen denounced the presence of a processor cartel.
