Right now, the value of the farmed seafood sector compared to the value of the traditional fishery is about 30%. We're increasing every year. Again, in Canada at the moment, about 50% of the seafood consumed is farmed.
Across the country, we have approximately 19,000 direct and primary processing jobs based on aquaculture. We believe from our projections that in 10 years we can actually increase that by about 14,000. That would be pretty close to doubling it. There's a great opportunity. For instance, just two days ago, the Premier of Newfoundland announced that they want to double their production in Newfoundland. I don't know if you saw that announcement. There are great opportunities there. There are also great opportunities in Quebec, northern Ontario, and all across the country.
Again, as some of my colleagues up here said, these are high-paying jobs and they're full-year jobs. These are not jobs for three months of production. These are jobs for the full year in aquaculture, and they're in remote locations that really need these jobs.
That's where we are right now.
