Historically, of course, the amount of foreign fishing in our waters was extremely high. I appreciate that NAFO has been more successful in recent years, but the danger is that, once there's a bigger presence offshore, there would be more pressure on the resource and more likelihood of offending.
I remember in Newfoundland and Labrador, the year before the northern cod fishery.... I was also the deputy minister when we declared a moratorium on salmon fishing. In fact, I remember that at the time, with the salmon fishery, there was a $100-million program for compensation to salmon fishermen. I said to myself that it would be amazing if we had to do the same thing with cod. A year later, that's exactly what happened.
