Of course, everybody knows that figures can be misleading, depending on the way in which they are viewed. Kind of like a glass half full or half empty. It may be satisfying to some, but dissatisfying to others. That is what this figure does. I could tell you about quite specific situations where lobster fishermen did not make $55,000 in income, but they do have additional income because they managed to do something else. They had to because 5,000, 6,000, or 7,000 pounds of lobster was not enough for them to earn $55,000. The individuals in question—I am referring to fishers from Baie-des-Chaleurs and Saint-Godefroi specifically—caught other species. Therefore, their income increased. In the end, they managed to overcome the crisis they have already been dealing with for a number of years. When the time finally comes to receive a certain amount of help, they are unfortunately not able to deal with the situation.
The same thing occurred in the Magdalen Islands where so many conservation efforts have been made over the last few years. Out of 180 requests to the department, only five fishermen received help. You can practically name them one by one. That is what leads me to say that it makes no sense and that the criteria need to be reviewed.
