We're very hopeful, actually. I'm very hopeful that the things that we're doing—certainly the things that we're doing with Fogo Island Fish—can be adopted and adapted by other communities.
I think the opportunity for communities to participate in markets, to take products to markets themselves directly, is certainly easier now than it has ever been in the past. Working on Fogo Island Fish together, my wife and I have been able to work directly with our fishers. We purchased fish from 33 fishers last year, and this year we're going to purchase fish from 75 fishers out of a total of 100 fishers. We were able to get markets for that fish primarily in Ontario with just the two of us working on it.
I think for other communities that's a small-scale approach and small-scale thinking, but I think it can have a profound impact, particularly when you can double the economic impact to your community by doing so. There are lessons learned in the things that we've done for other communities, absolutely, and not just here in Newfoundland and Labrador. I think it's a national issue. I think we have fishing communities all over the country that are struggling with the same issues we are. I think going direct to market and taking premium product to premium markets is an answer for many communities in this country.
