Madam Chair, that is not on a regular basis. It is not a regular circumstance. It is the circumstances of the fishery right now. There is an economic crisis, a financial collapse in this fishery.
Will the minister adhere to a principle that those who fish the resource, those who are barely making ends meet today, those who need a leg up, a helping hand up instead of a kick down, will be given any new resources or new allocations first, as opposed to those who simply want to have a piece of paper that entitles them to hold it up and say that they now own a royalty charter assigned to them by the minister and if anyone wants the fish that they will not be fishing they will give it out to the highest bidder? Those people will pocket the money, which will actually cause economic collapse and chaos for everyone in the fishery.
That is exactly the prescription that the minister has suggested in the past. That is what she would do. She would simply allow those who have no stake in the fishery whatsoever to be granted an access for use as a royalty charter and put in jeopardy those entrants who are already there. Is that what she intends to do next week?
