I, like the rest of the members of this committee, am baffled as to what the objective is here. If the stock has been fished for over 50 years with this practice and is stable going forward, I can see where the fisher would want to do it, because here on the east coast, the scallop fishery will open tomorrow in my riding. I can buy product directly from the fisher, frozen scallop meat, and a lot of people do, and the fisher wants to do it for the same reason you're doing it, because they get a better price.
I am surprised at why enforcement came in here at the last moment.
I would have a question here—and tell me when I'm out of time: if it goes to the commercial processor, who controls the commercial processing industry? Is it one control on the B.C. coast?
