I don't even think it's a matter of it becoming the case. Jimmy Lee has been very vocal, and a lot of folks just aren't.
We've known since the nineties and the early 2000s, before PIIFCAF, that there's a problem when it comes to controlling agreements. It's no secret that you can go to certain wharves and everybody knows the company vessels. There's no question.
The fact is that DFO has been handed envelopes of evidence and cases to investigate, and we still see those vessels sailing. We still see companies and certain individuals concentrating licences and vessels. It's a problem with access.
We keep saying we have a recruitment and retention issue for young folks in the Newfoundland fishery, but we do not. We have individuals who are interested. The problem is corporate concentration, and that goes for fishing licences as well as in the processing industry.
It's a severe problem, and until the act reflects penalties and deterrents for this to occur and we actually see action, it's just going to continue. If you're going to go and speed on the highway and you know there are no cops, what's stopping you from putting the pedal to the metal?
