Mr. Robert Hauknes at the Fisheries and Oceans Committee

I would like to see a licence buyback or something along that line to compensate people who want to get out of the fishery.

There are still too many licences. There have been a couple of buybacks in the preceding years. The U.S. government gave $30 million to buy up some trolling licences to reduce the impact on the coho salmon, but there are still too many licences. It will be nice to see the government whittle this down, I guess, to a viable number.
