Thank you.
It's important to recognize that we're not asking for no foreign involvement or no foreign business to take place inside our fisheries economy. What we don't want is the vertical integration of those companies so that they have the entire chain, from the value of taking fish out of the water to overseas transport, the full line from start to finish. When we have that level of vertical integration, it makes it incredibly difficult for owner-operators to compete.
We know of companies that are headquartered overseas but have branches in Canada. They're fish buyers. I don't think that's the issue. I don't think anyone here is saying that's the issue. It's when they take the bulk of the licences and quotas and control the productivity of the fish that we have the problem.
