I'd like to add to what George said, and this is one example. If we want to look at it from a Transport Canada perspective--and we're here on account of both DFO and Transport Canada. I've said it in Ottawa, and George said it, regardless of what size you can have, what size you're allowed to have, or what size you should have, if we get to the point that the proposed regulations come in from a Transport Canada perspective and restrict someone in getting a new vessel because of stability, because of fire extinguishers, because of carriage requirement, or whatever, actually--and this is to help what George said--you are going to get a person staying in his existing vessel a lot longer time, to conduct fisheries in a dilapidated boat over time, because he can't afford the brand new one. We're actually being counterproductive to safety at that point.
