Yes. Thank you.
You mentioned the Fogo Island co-op. We're the largest fisheries co-op in Canada, I think, and we've been around for 57 years. We're pretty proud of that.
When it comes to quality, with the help of the AFF, the Atlantic fisheries fund, it has invested millions into longline technology. In my opinion it's a fantastic way to fish. There's very little bycatch. There's very little bottom destruction or habitat destruction. It's just hooks that are out on the bottom, and the fish come and take the hooks. The co-op buys that fish.
We just finished fishing in October. The problem is that there's not enough quota late enough into the year because a lot of the fish come in earlier in gillnets. That's a challenge. When the fish are full of capelin, the water temperature is at its highest. There are a lot of challenges in catching fish at that time of year, and I understand that's the time of year small boats need to catch fish. There's a balance between how much fish you catch in the summer and how much you can catch in the fall when the quality is probably better.
I'll just say that, with the longline product, the co-op was buying that fish and getting that product to a customer who pays more for the fish. Therefore, you can get a better product and a better return.
