Canada is the sixth-largest seafood exporter in the world. Demand for seafood is growing. On the whole, though, in capture fisheries we don't have much opportunity to grow in volume because we're probably close to the limits of the exploitation levels. So what we have to do is improve the value that we get from those fisheries products in order to succeed. We can't do that without solid science and research.
I would hate to see us spending a lot of time arguing over what happened in the past. I think to be fair to DFO, the Larocque and subsequent decisions threw them into just as much chaos as it did us, but we are urgently in need of long-term solutions. And as you say, Canada is a rich country and we should be able to come up with a cooperative, collaborative approach to fix the problem.
