The P.E.I. Fishermen’s Association is looking to Îles de la Madeleine for a model to get higher lobster prices. McGeoghegan thinks he might see a solution in Îles de la Madeleine, the Quebec archipelago sitting in the middle of the Gulf of St. Lawrence north of P.E.I. Prices there are set each week by a local marketing board which looks at how much buyers make when they sell the product to restaurants and retailers. continued
