I guess for the first part of your question, I'll say the same thing I told DFO at the very first meeting I had with them, which is that I want it all, 100% of everything in 2J3KL, you name it. They told me I was crazy and started laughing at me, but I was dead serious. For 150 years.... My great-grandfather was the steward of the Newfoundland fleets when they came up this way. Let's give it all to us. We'll share some with the Innu. And then, in 150 years' time, let's have this conversation again, and then we'll all talk about sharing it once upon a time.
The resources that are off the Nunatsiavut coast aren't benefiting the Nunatsiavut people the way they should be. The same can be said for turbot. The same can be said for shrimp. The same can be said for crab. I don't understand why we're not here having a meeting about shrimp and the offshore—but hey, that's just me. We're the only ones who fish it inshore.
That being said, on the economic impact for this year, obviously, we went from one designated fisherman to 12. All of those small communities are 100% isolated. There are no roads, so it's just fly in, fly out, or ferry it in, in summertime. That's a major impact to even the grocery store there.
Hopefully next year, the plant that processes our turbot and crab will be able to process the cod as well. That should somewhat extend either the overall workforce or the season, so you have more dollars pouring into that community in particular. I would like to see more designated fishermen in smaller vessels so that they can go out on day trips to fish and then land to the plant. We're hoping that'll have a massive economic impact as we can designate more people to fish cod under the allocations that we get.
In terms of the dollar figure, I can't give that to you right now. There are lots of things that need to be assessed and brought forward to me. However, the cod allocations that we do get from the federal minister are certainly having and will have an impact on the economy in Nunatsiavut.
