It's inexplicable.
What I told our members the first time the fishery was shut down is that they would be receiving compensation. They had done their work for years and had paid for dockside landing audit services and hail-in‑related services. I told them that Fisheries and Oceans Canada had the history of all that. The departmental officials know them and know that they've harvested the resource.
At first, I thought we'd work with a group of fishers, the trawlers and fishers who had filed reports, including the Quebec pelagic fishers. However, we were ignored and abandoned. We've had no meetings with the minister to date.
