I can give you a simple example. A study conducted two years ago by Ernst & Young and Innovation maritime gave the example of a Danish crew that could, under the economic agreement, come to Canada to engage in cabotage. The Danish vessel could have a Danish captain and a crew from the Philippines, Ukraine, or wherever, because the flag on the vessel allows it. In Canada, the crew would have to be completely Canadian. So it is impossible to compete with them. The Danish captain might have a level of remuneration that is comparable to what is offered here. But the rest of the crew would be paid under different conditions. It is as simple as that.
