In past years, we were not allowed to make transfers. This year, DFO authorized full transfers of boat quotas, so the boats stayed tied up at the dock. There are three in Paspébiac and one in Gascons, I believe. Those boats will probably never return to the fishery. Also, those quotas were transferred to other boats, and there were licence transfers as well, albeit not many. There was one in New Brunswick—in other words, two licences for the same boat. Since then, the crew has been dwindling and, over time, there will be no one left to replace them. That is the point we are at now.
