That's one reason the vessel replacement rules were in there in the first place, in Atlantic Canada at least. A lot of the fisheries in British Columbia switched to ITQ fishing. Therefore, there has been a consolidation, there's no question about that, and there has been an accumulation of quotas on some of the vessels such that they're doing very well, etc. It has had an impact on participation rates and has reduced the participation in those fisheries.
In Atlantic Canada we have the vessel replacement rules in order to try to prevent overcapitalization and the bankruptcies that lead to consolidation. We also have policies in Atlantic Canada, which have been in place for a number of years, that prevent licence holders from buying each other out and accumulating quota under one licence holder. Where we have not gone to ITQs and we have competitive fisheries, or IQ fisheries, there are policies that don't allow consolidation.
This has led us to the current situation we have, which is an economic crunch in Atlantic Canada in many of the fisheries, where people haven't been able to change how they fish because of the policies and can't make a living because they can't get enough income to cover their expenses. That's a serious concern, obviously, and has led to federal-provincial discussions in Newfoundland and around the Northumberland Strait involving Nova Scotia, P.E.I., and New Brunswick.
We haven't seen what your concern is, unless fleets have decided they wanted to go down that route by changing to individual transferable quotas.
