You asked if we had enlarge our vessels. Vessels are certainly larger in recent years. Like another part of the world, there have been changes. But safety is always an issue. Our vessels may be larger and more powerful, but they are safe.
In answer to the question Mr. Blais asked a few moments ago, I would say that, when we build a boat, we use a plan approved by a naval architect as well as by Department of Transport. The vessel does not fall [Editor's note: Inaudible]. That is how it works.
When we modify our vessels—and some have been modified—the work is monitored by inspectors from Transport Canada, Quebec Division. That is very important. Mr. Vigneau raised the point a few moments ago, and I took note of it to share it with you. This is something we have publicly deplored and we continue to deplore: there is one federal government, but we noted that, in many areas—particularly vessels inspection—there is a great deal of disparity among the provinces. That is completely unacceptable. Shipbuilders tell us, and we are well aware of it. The disparities are reflected in construction costs, as I said. If our shipbuilders are continually monitored by Transport Canada's Quebec Division, to ensure that everything is done by the book, but standards in other regions are not strictly applied—and that is exactly what happens—then we get price competition. As a result, more and more of our fishers are going elsewhere to have their vessels built. It's a problem.
