Fish harvesters in this province say they want a 'free enterprise' system, which would mean lifting processing caps, allowing outside buyers and granting new processing licences here at home. Yesterday, hundreds of angry harvesters gathered outside the Confederation Building in St. John's to voice those demands. Things got heated as police tried to help workers into their offices on what was supposed to be budget day. In the end, the provincial government won a court injunction against the protesters, but not before two people - a police officer and a protester - were taken away by ambulance. Tony Wakeham is the leader of the PC party in this province and MHA for Stephenville - Port au Port, and he says the situation should never have happened.
