I don't have an exact figure, but I know that it totally depends on the area, as you said. It would completely depend on the area. But as Ed said, it will be older people, and they'll be looking at this mostly for their retirement and so on. If they're not, and they're younger people--and this is something I was going to bring up earlier--retraining or training and opportunities within their communities to keep them employed and keep them viable is another really important facet of this problem.
I just wanted to touch as well on the question you asked earlier about what kind of timeline we have to fix this problem. To give you an idea, and I'm sure you know this, the fishery they're fishing right now started at the beginning of May, and it's a ten-week fishery. So that doesn't leave us very much time. When we're talking about loan relief, they're making their payments now. When we're talking about EI, it's going to be within the next very short while that they'll be having to apply for their EI. In LFA 27, they're loading their boats today and they're going tomorrow.
It's going to be interesting to wait and see what happens up there. Some of their buyers are saying that they're going to be getting $4 a pound up there; they're the market for lobster now, and they're going to be getting $4 a pound. But we'll see. So that's just another ten weeks after you have a whole other LFA.
