I think, yes, there is free and open competition between harvesters and processors in Newfoundland and Labrador.
I can speak for our company. We completely abide by the Atlantic policies that exist right now in owner-operator and fleet separation policies and the preservation of the inshore fleet.
Like any group, we look to have relationships with harvesters. We manage five land-based processing facilities in Newfoundland and Labrador that employ about 1,000 people. You have to have a steady supply of raw material to operate those facilities to ensure that you can employ people on a seasonal basis, and in some cases on a year-round basis. Those relationships exist. They're critical to maintain the capacity and the infrastructure that we have.
In terms of pricing, what I will say is that this year is a unique year. Your committee has talked a lot about the situation in the snow crab fishery this year. If you go back over the past number of years, you'll see that 2022 and 2021 had record prices for snow crab for harvesters in Newfoundland and Labrador. Going back, we've had a fairly stable regime in place in terms of pricing, so I think fair market price has certainly been attained in the harvesting sector.
