Fisheries committee  I used to own a plant, but, given the circumstances, I had to sell it. The whole industry is sick. Today, we're simply fishermen and owners. There's a lot of talk about value added. On the Acadian Peninsula, the Japanese producer Ichiboshi manufactures value-added products. There are niches, and some things have been tried.

Fisheries committee  Good morning. My name is Marius Duguay, and I'm a member of the ACA and a crab fisherman-owner. I started fishing in 1988, in the early years of the crisis. Now it's 2010 and we're in a full crisis. It's quite something. When I started, there was a competitive fishery and we used individual quotas to protect ourselves, so we wouldn't have to experience the same situation as the industries for cod, redfish and other species.
