With due respect, Deputy, that's just bunk. Every licensed harvester is assigned to a specific river with a specific DFO licence, with that on their nets. Everybody else who's not on those rivers is a poacher. It's easy to identify poachers. I do every night when this starts.
They're already fighting over river space. They're setting up nets now. You have just made it worse. The minister has just made it worse, and Mr. Wentzell has just made it worse, with a lack of ability to enforce the law.
I'll ask it again, because you didn't answer the question: How does removing the licensed elver fishers, who have a 9,000-plus kilogram TAC, when almost 100 tonnes of elvers are being poached and exported out of the Toronto airport—and your enforcement people know where all of that is coming from—stop poaching on the river? Just give a quick answer. How does it stop poaching on the river?
