You'll recall some announcements that were made as long ago as 2007 regarding moving ahead with ocean to plate and trying to look at how to build value and enterprises in Atlantic Canada. At that time, there was a change in policy and a change in the vessel replacement rules for the larger enterprises—the 65-footers—where we said that buddying up was going to stop.
However, what is allowed is combining enterprises and collapsing those enterprises into one. At that point they're allowed to combine certain quotas, and, should they desire, go to a larger vessel that is more seaworthy, more economical to run, and provides a larger platform for better quality and better comfort.
The intention of removing buddying up in that case was to provide the motivation to move ahead with these combinations and make a permanent arrangement to reduce costs instead of having the temporaries where, if things are going badly, you buddy up and then, as soon as you get a turnaround, you end up with the watering down of the benefits by having more people go back into the fishery.
This is counterproductive in the long haul because we're not dealing with a stable state. We're dealing with stocks that go up and down. We need to be able to have enterprises that can adjust to that.
