In the past six years since your program came out, there are in excess of thousands of vessels just in the marine service centres in Atlantic Canada that are still there. There has been only one vessel removed from the marine service centres in the past six years through this program.
In my hometown, there are two marine service centres. One has 14 vessels and the other has 13. Because of the restrictions that we faced, we could not put a proposal in to Fisheries and Oceans to remove those vessels. The restriction was because the eligible recipient criteria was for indigenous groups only.
