I am proud to call Vancouver Island home. It's a beautiful coastline, and I am here filling in for my lovely colleague, Lisa Marie Barron.
Ms. Strobel, I appreciated that you outlined that example in your opening remarks and in subsequent questions. You did state in your opening comments that, like many fishing families, you can't afford to purchase the licences and, like many other families, unfortunately have to lease. You gave the example of how a family may own 5,000 pounds through quota, which is not enough to support them through the year, and they have to lease an additional 5,000 pounds. Through that system, corporations can exert control over both licences and saying that they're going to buy you out at x amount.
Can you give us a sense of what the earnings differential is? Has that been quantified for what fishing families are missing out on through the leasing system versus if they had enough money to actually afford enough quota to support themselves through the year?
