Just to sum up the previous answer, we've spent a lot of time and put a lot of money into the east coast and west coast fisheries funding to settle long-standing aboriginal concerns. We've worked closely with them, and a lot of this is leading into treaties. Basically, we are aware of the challenges with the treaty process and without the treaty process. We are going through a process ourselves that won't see a major move in funding regardless of whether we're in treaty negotiations or not; we are making certain moves ourselves. That's why you don't see a major divergence.
In relation to the fresh fish marketing board and the challenge for central Canada, times are changing and markets are changing. I believe the board--and certainly the new chair, who was appointed some time ago--are well aware of this. Immediately they had a solid internal report on looking at options on how they can improve their own lot in order to be feasible and serve customers. That report is completed, and I'm waiting to get my hands on it to have a personal review. Treasury Board also initiated a report independent of us some time ago looking at it. That report is going to be available very soon. I think it is completed.
In our conversations with fishermen from the north--Alberta and Saskatchewan, in particular, and northern Manitoba, and even some of those closer--a number of concerns are being raised. Number one is the quality of the product these days. No longer do you ship in bulk, frozen, etc. We talk about quick access and fresh product on the markets. Because of the better transportation systems, there is ready access to markets now that a lot of people didn't have years ago.
All in all, some people think, maybe as they do with other facilities we have, that they could do a better job themselves if they were allowed to sell directly. But then in some cases they'd say it relates to some species, but there are some species they'd be better off having the marketing board market. It's not a black and white situation, and I think the people see that. I would rather have the fishermen and the marketing board try to find ways of solving this than to have it dictated from afar because someone thinks something works. They know what works, and if decision-makers or people who have control become an obstruction to seeing greater benefits flow to the people, then that's where we would have to step in.
