I'll take a crack at it first.
I think if you look at a lot of fisheries, where they started from there was significant overcapacity in the fisheries, so there was overharvesting and poor economic returns. For instance, in the early 1990s, among salmon fishermen who were only focused on the salmon fishery, 75% of the fleet, according to DFO reports, was basically making negative economic returns.
The industry's made changes also because of safety. Racing for the fish means vessels may be forced to fish in inclement weather, so these changes have led to industry and fishermen coming forward and saying, look, we want to change; we want to look at different ways of doing it. That's how the fisheries evolved over time. It's evolved more recently to address things like bycatch.
With respect to competing on world markets, we are a price-taker in world markets. We are a high-cost volume producer. Our biggest competitor is Alaska, just to the north of us. They catch the same fish, produce the same products, and sell them into the same markets. We have to be competitive with them or we will lose those markets.
