We no longer have any trust; we no longer know who to believe. Why are we here? Because there was no trust. No one trusts anyone anymore. We have to set the record straight. If I give you a glass of water, drink it, but don't put any vinegar in it.
We have to trust each other in order for the resource to be good again. As I told Dominic LeBlanc earlier: there are solutions, but we mustn't tell each other lies. We have to sit down, find the problem and solve it.
Perhaps I'm going to make you laugh, but it's as though I drank five beers and told my wife that I had drunk two. She would tell me I'm a liar, wouldn't she? That's what's happening. We tell each other too many lies and we're not listening to each other enough. You have to listen to the fishermen and to the biologists as well in order to preserve the resource. It's nice when everyone smiles.
Tomorrow morning, if I see my neighbour, a plant worker whom you talked about earlier... At the time, I made some sandwiches and took them to him. Don't you think that made me feel sick? The man had a salary of $4,000; what do you want him to do? They must be good accountants because I can't imagine how they manage at the end of the year. That's the situation: people are dying—I'm choosing the right word; that's it.
The fishery is finished; the boats are finished. Go down the peninsula, go into the houses and open the refrigerator of a plant employee and see what's there. Maybe your heart will be as heavy as mine was earlier.
