. No, I'm not suggesting that the Government of Canada subsidize the shore price or anything like that. I think some people would say it would be nice to get the extra money, but in actual fact we would be artificially propping up the industry, which I don't think in the long run would have a positive benefit.
What I am saying is that the processors are finding it more and more difficult to access ready cash from either banking or lending institutions. I was suggesting that interest relief and some access relief to funding be given in order for the plants to be able to continue buying on a regular basis. If they don't have a cashflow coming into the plant, then they can only operate so long before all the workings come to a stop.
I was thinking about two things. One was some inventory support so they could get rid of their inventory in an orderly manner, and secondly, a banking type of operation that might last for two to three years so they would be able to continue purchasing along the shore.
