A search is underway off southern Nova Scotia for a 54-year-old fisherman who went missing from his boat overnight.
The man is the captain of a fishing vessel identified as the Miss Janet, which was travelling from Shelburne to Saulnierville, N.S.
The man's identity has not been released at the request of his family, according to the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre which is overseeing the search.
The centre said they were notified at about 4 a.m. AT Thursday about a man who had gone overboard from a fishing vessel about 27 kilometres off the coast of Yarmouth, N.S.
Lt.-Cmdr. Brian Owens said there were initially four people on board the vessel Wednesday evening. Three of them went to sleep, leaving the captain in the wheelhouse.
When one of them woke up at about 3:30 a.m. AT, the captain was no longer in the wheelhouse. They searched the boat, but he wasn't on board.
The crew immediately made a distress call.
Intelligence regarding foreign interference sometimes didn't make it to the prime minister's desk in 2021 because Canada's spy agency and the prime minister's national security adviser didn't always see eye to eye on the nature of the threat, according to a recent report from one of Canada's intelligence watchdogs.
