What you're essentially saying is that the uncertainty that's being created is causing investment to be delayed or potentially forgone altogether.
It sounds very similar to what I'm hearing in my part of the country, with oil and gas and some of the changing regulations there. The uncertainty that's created makes it hard to make a choice to make an investment. It sounds like a very similar type of situation.
I wanted to ask about something that's related to that.
I would assume that you represent some small businesses, some family-run businesses, as part of the Fisheries Council. You would be well aware of some of the small business tax changes that were proposed last year. Based on a lot of public pressure, the government did somewhat walk back from those changes.
But there's something that remains a concern—or at least that I'm hearing remains a concern—and I wanted to hear your take on it, on whether it's a concern for those small businesses you represent. It's the ability for intergenerational transfers and the fact that it is something that is difficult to do. We have a system that's set up that almost incentivizes people to sell off to others outside of their family, rather than transfer within the family.
Is that something you've seen in your sector? Is that something you have a concern about?
