They are in fact commodity brokers, who annually broker this commodity to the remaining members of the fleet who still go out and catch fish.
I understand all the reasons why it got there. It's a very difficult problem for government. No party can take blame or claim for it, but we want to stay out of that.
In fact, we reject the notion that one way to advance the recreational fishery is that anglers would have to go and buy quota from commercial fishermen who somehow have been given, then, what amounts to a property right that the Supreme Court of Canada says does not exist. It was for that reason that the Sport Fishing Institute and the B.C. Wildlife Federation joined with the Government of Canada in a court case called the Malcolm case, in which we argued that the government had the right to allocate and that the transfer of three percentage points by the current government to the recreational fishery did not require that the commercial sector be paid the commercial lease rate or purchase rate for those fish.
