No, unfortunately. It may seem like an innovative idea in the static environment of the fisheries, but the fact remains that in some countries, these two departments have been merged. It has also been done in some of the provinces—for example, Prince Edward Island and Quebec. In Quebec, fisheries and agriculture have been brought under one roof. Things have improved, but the financial integration has not been completed. At this time, we do not have access to any kind of stabilization program. And, as you know, federal participation is a must. As a general rule, when the provinces introduce programs, federal participation is required. That is when they shut the door on us—at least, that is the province's convenient excuse for shutting the door. It is connected to the fact that the industry is poorly defined.
