Fisheries committee  I wanted to add to Mr. Woodford's comment. I represent 206 pieces of the pie in Trinity Bay: that's the less-than-40-foot. This is not a new thing for me. This came to my attention by being chair of the crab committee two years ago, when I clearly stated overwhelmingly, over 90

Fisheries committee  Yes., I think that's the correct number for the licence owners. Most of them are not owned, operated, or driven by companies. If that is lifted to 44 feet 11 inches, they feel that we will be forced to be tied to a plant and we're very uncomfortable with that.

Fisheries committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair and representatives, for letting me speak here today. I represent the under-35 fleet in Trinity Bay.

Fisheries committee  Under 40? I always considered it 34 feet 11 inches, but under 40. I'm crab committee chair of that fleet. This question arose when I was asked about it by a representative. He wanted the question asked to see how people felt about it two years ago. I let it go down to the floor.

Fisheries committee  Yes.
