In response to the question about pricing, broadly speaking the industry ships to two markets: the United States and Japan. Others are very minor.
The product is a commodity, first of all. There is really just one product: cooked, frozen crab sections. They find their way into the mid-range to low-end restaurants, food service. As a consequence, the industry is driven by price, price, price. So the real power in the industry is at the distribution end—this is in the product markets, either importers in Japan or major distributors in the U.S. They are commodity traders, effectively. They take a position in the market and have a great deal of influence over price.
The processors in Atlantic Canada are smaller. They can easily be played off by the larger distributors, one against the other, and that forces price down. The processors, for their part, are most anxious to cover their investment, so they are buying as much volume as they can. That tends to bid up the price at the wharf.
And Gordon referred to a competition investigation. He's absolutely right; that did occur, and there were reasons for that. But the industry itself, notwithstanding that, tends to be fairly competitive, and it's driven by price because it's essentially a commodity.
