I won't comment about that.
Mr. Nobels or Mr. McIsaac, to finish this off with the remaining time I have, Ms. Burridge spoke about fish processed in China—she gave that example—and the need for B.C. to produce a competitive product, which I think was alluding to the cost of harvesting or paying fishermen, which is too high in B.C. I'll also point out that Mr. McIsaac told the committee that the average annual income for fishermen in B.C. was around $19,000.
We've heard the two different cases. We've heard that owner-operator fleet separation on the east coast works well, and we've heard that it has problems. Obviously, we're hearing a case for ITQs on the west coast, and I think you're saying that there are some problems.
How do we reconcile this? How do we get more fishermen and more fishing families working but still work with the companies that are in place and have legitimately been working on the conservation issue, on monitoring, and on improving the situation? What are your thoughts on where we go from here?
