My understanding is that it did allow greater flexibility on a fleet-by-fleet basis. There were certain principles that they required to be followed. One of them was that the fleet couldn't increase its capacity by changing the rules. So some adjustments had to be made.
For example, in the maritime region in the shrimp fleet, the fleet did decide that they would change their rule to go beyond the 64 feet 11 inches. So there are boats larger than 65 feet being used there, but they had to agree to allow for that. A certain number of core enterprises had to cease operation.
That was a new policy in 2003. I think it's only in Newfoundland that the 45 feet and the 64 feet 11 inches rule is still strictly in place. So you may want to take a look at that as a fleet to see how this new policy might affect you.
If it were opened up, do you think it's possible that one of the consequences would be more stress on the owner operator policy, which is under stress anyway? In other words, you'd be looking for other investors, and so on, to be able to pay for the new boat that you want. Do you have any comment on that?
