Very much so; in fact the press release refers to adjacency in the context of allocating the increase. Within that the priority would be to aboriginals and less-than-65-foot licence holders who were adjacent to the resource. So even those offshore vessels that were adjacent to the resource weren't part of the priority. They were covered off by the other provision that they were to be protected in terms of their existing status, but they were not going to enjoy much, if any, of the increase.
So adjacency was not contradictory toward the existing viability at the time; it was couched in terms of the access to the increase. Increases were not going to go to British Columbia Canadians or Quebec Canadians. They were going to go to those who were adjacent to the resource who were aboriginals and less-than-65-foot licence holders.
