That causes a problem in that the processing plants are not operating for quite a number of weeks, which means that the workers are quickly laid off. In our area—the Rocher Percé RCM and, to some extent the Bonaventure RCM—we set up an employer group so that, when the crab fishing season is over, workers can go and work in other fish plants. That made it possible to stabilize employment in the plants and ensure that workers have an adequate number of weeks of work. We are talking about 20, 22, 23 or 24 weeks of work a year, which has stabilized employment. However, with the reductions we are seeing now, it will be far more difficult to find placements for all these workers in other fish plants if the fish stocks have not increased.
That is also part of what I was explaining. We talk about insecurity, and that insecurity also affects the workers, because they will end up leaving the business and we will have trouble recruiting new ones. Right now, some industries are abstaining from developing new products, because they know they will not be able to find workers to come in for only two or three weeks. That is the problem the employer group wanted to resolve, but in a very serious situation such as the one these days, we will have trouble keeping that operation going in our area.
