I agree with my colleague that subsidies to the fishing industry globally do distort the marketplace, and they do create, at times, issues with sustainable fishing. To the extent that we can reduce subsidies to fishing industries globally, that helps the Canadian seafood industry compete, and it helps protect the sustainability of global fish stocks.
With respect to structures of industries, my colleague made a point about large boats versus small boats. From our perspective, there is a place for all of these types of vessels in the Canadian fishery. There are fisheries that are more appropriate for small boats and owner-operator policies; and then there are offshore fisheries, which are long distances from shore and they require large boats with processing technology on board, and can provide very good, stable, year-round jobs for our fishermen.
From our perspective, we support policies in Canada that encourage a diversity in the structure of the fishing industry, respecting both those fisheries that are appropriate for small boats and those fisheries that require larger boats with more technologically advanced capabilities.
