To comment on this PIIFCAF policy on the east coast, I have never seen anything bring 36 organizations of fishers together so fast to stand side by side on one issue. There is good support for it, and we'll go forward to implement it.
On the west coast, of course, this management measure has been in place for a number of years. I've talked to a lot of people on the west coast. Some want to revisit it, so ITQs have varying degrees of support. Of course, ITQs and IQs make it easier to manage a fishery but at the same time it's the T that causes a lot of trouble, not just because T is for trouble, but because it stands for “transferable”. It allows people to transfer their quota and maybe live in some other country most of the year while someone else is fishing their quota.
We're open to having conversations. We pride ourselves on consulting with fishermen all the time on a regular basis on all management measures. It's definitely an issue I'll be following.
