If you're going to have owner-operators, there are people out there who would like to purchase. If you're competing per se—like with what PICFI did—the reason the licenses are where they're at is that they went on the open market with an open chequebook. What do you think is going to happen if you have two licenses to pick from and, basically, owners would know each other? The price is going to go up.
In the case where you would choose to do fleet separation and you give a reasonable time, and possibly give concessions—maybe from the government's point of view—if a company were going to voluntarily turn their licenses over to fishermen, there are other ways it could be looked at. It could possibly be a tax concession. There needs to be a time limit on it, otherwise there's no incentive for them to want to sell it to able parties.
I started off with the fish plant. They helped me out with my second boat—to get a better boat. They helped me with the whole thing. They're all but long gone. The present companies here are different. They're not the same.
