It's significant. I mentioned $170 million. Whenever you throw a rock in the water, you think of the first splash, the multiple splashes, and the waves that come out from it. The first splash is the community, what's being impacted in the community, and there's your $170 million. Then you go to the next. What is it doing to the outer community? What is it doing to the spin-offs? What is it doing to the markets?
You talk about impact. Impact is the number of employees for the plants, the plants to stabilize the industry. How many people are we going to need to come in to work tomorrow or the next day? What are they going to need? What type of threshold are they going to need for employees?
Just think of the packaging aspects. This goes beyond the local economy—it goes to places like Moncton that handle the packaging. How much packaging are they going to need? How much packaging do they have sitting in their own warehouses?
There are orders to fill. We talk about destabilization of the marketplace. You lose space from your grocer, you lose an in-counter, you lose refrigeration space, you lose a space that's being taken up in the freezer counters. I'll use the example of snow crab in the Japanese market. They're going to fill that gap with something else. If there's not a supply they can count on, they're going to find another supplier.
The impact is long lasting. It's not just today; it's tomorrow and all the tomorrows afterwards. How are we going to fill that gap? The impact is significant, and I just can't help but go back to the underlying parts of this. Do we want to fix it with a band-aid or do we want to do it properly? It's long term. Let's go to the root of the problem. The root of the problem is stability and access to allocations. The markets will react to instability, and we need to make sure that this void is filled at all times.
