With respect to this rationalization you are talking about--taking licences out or quotas out--to make the industry more viable, in our jurisdiction, of course, we have many species of fish. Generally, we have indicated to the federal government that we are prepared, under our fisheries renewal, to partner with them up to 30% to bring about rationalization. But it would not be rationalization by taking some players out. It would be making sure that the restructuring also takes place so that what we are left with is a viable industry.
For most species, you have some equity in your licences, because you have quotas, and other fishers are interested in getting your quotas, because it would increase their catch. The difficulty we have in Newfoundland and Labrador is that we have small lobster enterprises--small boats--and there are only licences. There are no IQs. So here we have, as I pointed out, 5% of the value and 30% of the licences, and it is really narrowing down so that fishers are getting something, as I mentioned, like $4,000 a year. We have to find a way to take out that capacity. In that case, it's not self-rationalization, because they have nothing to offer. A licence is of no value to other fishers. On those we are hoping to partner with the federal government to find a way. Going forward, with the money that has been announced now, we hope there is some way we can do that. The lobster fishery is different from the crab, from the cod, and from others, because you have quotas there. Fishers can self-rationalize, because they can sell those and get out of the business and someone can purchase them and make good on them.
I hope that answers your question or gets to some of the information you needed.
