In district 36, I would support it.
I think district 35, which is the same size in terms of water volume, has 95. They have about half the fishermen we do. I would like to see our numbers at around 145 fishermen in district 36. I would like to see a reduction.
The reason I would like to see a reduction is that these challenges the industry is facing are going to cost us money, and I need to have, as a fisherman, a little better income in order to deal with the costs that are associated, for example, with traceability. In the future, you're going to have to be able to tag every lobster you catch and track it to the consumer. For me, aboard the boat, it's going to require more manpower or a tool. It's going to require something. There's going to be more monitoring; we know that. There are going to be changes in gear to deal with the right whale issue in the Bay of Fundy; we have a right whale issue.
All of these things are going to cost money. For the industry, there are certain costs. The government will get this ball rolling, but if it turns out that this has to happen annually and forever, I'm sure the industry is going to have to bear part of the costs. This is why I'm saying we need a mechanism whereby we can contribute, but we also need the money to contribute.
