I don't propose to represent the views of all of Newfoundland. These are my views, and I guess views shared by a small group of people in the Fisheries Community Alliance.
I don't know what they would tell you. I think people will certainly be happy to hear about the tariff reductions, because it means that their product will be more marketable, but they will be concerned about the things that Gus and I have talked about.
If we relieve minimum processing requirements, that's jobs at stake. I think the Government of Canada recognizes that there will be some pretty significant impacts, because the Province of Newfoundland will be the only province to get a cheque in two years for $280 million.
I worked at Treasury Board. I know that Treasury Board doesn't write a $280-million cheque without some rationale for it. I'd love to see what the rationale was, but I'm sure it has to do with jobs that are going to be lost.
