My biggest concern is this U.S. MMPA. These are such important fisheries. They are our two most important fisheries on the east coast.
We've had a collapse of finfish and a lack of rebuilding plans for fish that are in the critical stocks in the east coast. We have started to see a decline in snow crab, so we want to arrest that. It would be absolutely devastating for the east coast if we were to lose access to the U.S. markets.
To me, I see protecting right whales as a win-win—for the species itself and also for fishermen in Atlantic Canada. We need to maintain that access. We need to do the right thing for the whales, but we need to maintain that access.
