Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I personally made this request because urgent action is needed at home, in Quebec.
Earlier, you were talking about a collective fishing system. They take all the licences and quotas, concentrate them on three boats, leave all the other boats at the dock and go offshore to try to make the fishing season profitable, or at least get through a more difficult fishing period. That's one solution.
The other solution is to keep waiting on what we've been waiting for since October. We had the shrimp measurement data, and we knew that shrimp stocks were declining significantly. We're now waiting again for next week.
In our area, some fishers tell us that they would at least like to know the value of their licences. They say that if they could buy the licences of people who are about to retire, for example, those people might be able to readjust their lives.
Do you think that's possible? Are you looking at those kinds of things?
