Thank you, Mr. Morrissey.
Mr. Mallet—this is not because you're my favourite, but you are from my province—you said earlier that licences are at a high price right now. For crab it's around $12 million or $15 million, and for lobster it's $1 million or $1.5 million. When I see licences leaving my province and leaving my area, it's troubling to me.
Is there anything we can do to stop that? I know that the residence criteria are all different within different provinces. What do you think we should do to stop that?
The new Fisheries Act was about fleet separation and protecting owner‑operators, but I think the spirit of the act was also to keep these licences in our communities so that they would not only benefit the fishers, but also the communities.
What should we do to stop the licences from being sold to other provinces and to foreign interests?
