In Newfoundland and Labrador, the biggest part of the economy in coastal regions outside the northeast Avalon, where we are now, would be the fishery. It has been for a number of years. It's the reason why people settled all these communities.
What we've seen in recent years has been more of a shift to things like we've seen in B.C., with companies going around the policies for trust agreements, and with companies with deeper pockets, not necessarily located in those areas, being able to outbid and out-compete local harvesters, such as someone who is on the deck of the boat. That's been a hindrance to the next generation of people for getting into the industry at a fair value.
We've done a substantial amount of work. It's a popular policy. People recognize the value of it, but there have been loopholes that have been exploited, and we're working hard to close those. For the future prosperity of our coastal communities, that's something that is going to have to be stopped soon, because we're losing a future generation. If we have people that could possibly be international companies and whatnot looking and trying to secure a supply of food products.... I'll stop there just to recognize that we have a short amount of time, but it is vitally important for our future.
