I'll use an example.
Bottom line, our position is that minimum processing requirements don't protect jobs. The bottom line is, if the harvesting and delivering that product to shore and then putting it into the processing plants is not going to make economic sense, then that's not going to happen. The government can introduce rules, but the company really operates in terms of making sound decisions.
You don't necessarily protect that job, but what happens is on the harvesting side, that quota is either not fully harvested or it's basically left in the water.
I'll give you a good example. Bottom line, in terms of minimum processing requirements, as you say, Newfoundland and Labrador has them in place. Nova Scotia doesn't have them in place. New Brunswick doesn't have them in place. P.E.I. doesn't have them in place. British Columbia no longer has them in place . The Fisheries Council of Canada worked with the industry in British Columbia and with Minister Fast's office in terms of eliminating that last vestige.
You have a roe herring fishery in British Columbia; you have a roe herring fishery in Alaska. The salted roe herring business was absolutely excellent because basically, you sell it into Japan and it was a high gift price in terms of their new year.
Two things happened over time. The market for that product declined quite substantially, and at the same time, in terms of the stocks both in Alaska and in British Columbia, certain components of them were becoming extremely small. That resulted in with respect to the prices, it was not economical any longer to take out the roe from the small females.
