That's great.
You know, when you look at the situation today, if somebody wants to lease quota, they go to a processor and the processor says, “We can get our hands on this much quota. It's going to cost you this much, whatever you get at the dock.” It's like the old Tennessee Ernie Ford song Sixteen Tons: “Another day older and deeper in debt”. You and I are old enough to remember that one. Maybe a few others are as well.
How do we break that? We've talked about the transition to owner-operator, but getting there is still going to be somewhat difficult. The 2019 report suggested that everything up for lease, the licences and quotas, be on a board somewhere. It's more of a competitive process: willing buyer, willing seller. Could that kind of system work even if the financing was done through a processor?
