Last year in area 24 there were three or four days, about the third week, that got pretty sticky. I don't know if there were actually any days that boats were tied up. I suspect this year.... We lost another processing plant down east and there are brokers saying they're not buying. I spoke to a gentleman in the department of fisheries in P.E.I. about a peddler's licence myself, yesterday, and apparently he's getting quite a few inquiries. There's fear out there.
One of the reasons there's probably still $25 million worth of processed product in cold popsicle packs and whole frozen lobsters is that the processors took a chance and put it into a not very labour intensive product, and they froze those and got caught with them. There was lots of live product in southwest Nova Scotia, and they got caught with them. Last year, I'd have to say I don't think there was anybody peddling in the stores and parking lots. You look at last year in southwest Nova Scotia; it was the same thing. It only started in December.
I expect this year...as I said, I inquired myself. We have fishermen building cages and stuff, trying to look at ways to haul their own lobsters. As you've seen in my presentation, we were looking at a freezer holding facility, whether it be for bait or lobster products. We feel we may be able to access them.
