No, and let me tell you something that you probably know as well as I do. Even though the lobster industry is comprised of 10,000 small fishing operations, buyer concentration is a major issue. In the United States, two or three Boston families control everything. In Quebec, the industry is controlled by two or three large chains. That is a fact. So then, buyer concentration is a major issue.
You can rationalize all you like, you still have to deal with these people, whereas that was not the case in 1990, when we were in the midst of a crisis. My fishers were seeing a 7% shortfall in production costs. I am talking about operating costs, not including wages. However, they did not have to contend, post crisis, with buyer concentration.
This difference in this case is that a 15% shortfall in operating costs is transferred directly to the fishers. Once the crisis abates and rationalization has occurred, the industry will still need to contend with buyer concentration, which was not the case in 1990. That is the difference. That is why I maintain the industry needs one of two things: either money or regulatory measures.
