I would prefer it, and where it has happened, it has happened because people looked over the brink and didn't like what they saw.
In the Bay of Fundy we're running at a 100-year high. People feel everything is good. In Quebec, which has done well, and in Cape Breton, which has taken a lot of initiatives, they were driven to the brink. They saw what it was like to have nothing. The interesting thing is that they've done a lot of positive things, and it hasn't hurt. Their fisheries have rebounded. Now, they will say that they don't know that cutting back caused the rebound, but it didn't hurt the rebound. The rebound happened anyway.
That's the case everywhere around the world, but still we cannot convince the fishermen.
Part of it is that fishermen will not join associations and they do not keep up on the real challenges facing the industry. Part of an initiative under the province is to try to work through the provincial round table to increase awareness of what fishing in this day and age entails. It's not like when my daddy used to do it. Fishing is different, and you have a whole group of consumers out there who are demanding things from the fisheries. They want their food to come in certain ways, and we have to answer to them if we want to sell.
