Mr. Chair, I would like to ask the minister another question.
A catch of 30,000 pounds at $3 a pound comes to $90,000, but that might be in Prince Edward Island.
I can guarantee the minister that in Caraquet and Pointe-Verte, fishers are not landing 30,000 pounds. It is more like 10,000 pounds. In Gaspé, at best they are landing 6,000 pounds, which, at $3 a pound, comes to only $18,000.
How are people supposed to make money and get ahead after paying for diesel or gas for their boats and paying their crew? I am talking about what is really happening.
I do not know. Maybe the minister is talking about Nova Scotia, because no one where I come from is landing 30,000 pounds.
Where is she getting her figures? Is she talking about Nova Scotia? Is she talking about Prince Edward Island? Who did she meet with? I do not believe the minister came to Shippigan. What group of fishers did she meet with?
