The economic input into the food fisheries is tremendous.
The amount of money goes into fishing gears.... I think it's mainly for boats—of course, fibreglass boats—rods and reels from local shops, near and far across the province. Then you have all of the different types of smaller communities, and ports and docks, that people are involved in. Restaurants get involved with that as well.
To put a price on the food itself.... It's a necessity, Mr. Arnold. In this province, to have money generated back into the local economy, into these activities, is paramount. I mean, I'm sure it stretches near and far all across the entire country. The benefits that come with activities such as this are in the billions all across the country.
