At the end of the day, if we want to have small coastal communities that are vibrant and survive into the future, we need to have these fishing industries thriving in these areas and the benefits of the resource going back into these areas to the benefit of the coastal provinces that need these fisheries. That has to be done in collaboration with the provinces, and again, I think that a proper study should be done. It may take a little bit of time, but it needs to be done now before it's too late.
