—in Canadian history, with huge ramifications all throughout Atlantic Canada. We're going through a period now when we see a changing ecosystem, and we have increasing abundance in the cod biomass, in northern cod. I think we'll be back to a commercial fishery in due course, in maybe three, five, or seven years. With that, we're going to see a declining of value in shellfish, as shellfish declines and groundfish comes back. The unit price of shellfish is much better, in terms of returns to the industry, to harvesters, and to producers than the unit value at this point of groundfish. We face challenges. The opportunity that TPP and CETA provide, for example, in these kinds of trade deals is to bring home more value in the industry right now. That will help us, I think, retool for the changes that will take place in terms of the changing ecosystem. We're going through a transition phase. It's going to be difficult for a period.
