I'll go first.
Thank you for the question.
I think that in the act itself, if it's applied strictly as it's written, we'd add provisions for the west coast that we do not have corporate money trying to buy inshore licences. This jacks up the price of licences beyond where new entrants can access them, even if they have access to capital. The other part is access to financing as well.
We at the Maritime Fishermen's Union worked very hard over a number of years, and we have a program in place now with the province and with Unifor whereby new entrants have access to a very reasonable amount of money to purchase an enterprise with very favourable terms.
We've talked at the federation about the possibility of there being a national fisheries loan board, the same as the farmers have, to give independent owner-operators access to capital to be able to buy those and, in the meantime, exit the big players, who will bid up the price of a licence way beyond what even a bank may be willing to give for it.
