Madam Chair, I am assuming we are talking about the east coast. We have some very clear rules that any of the inshore companies have to be 100% Canadian held and offshore companies need to be 51% Canadian held.

Mr. Chair, I thank the member for her question. I believe she is talking about independent inshore harvesters. It is the independent fishers who are in the inshore fishery, as opposed to the big commercial boats. We have regulations that protect the continuity of the independent inshore fishery.

Mr. Chair, I think the member is asking about a particular fishery. The regulations differ from fishery to fishery. A quota that is assigned to an inshore fisher may not be contracted out to someone else, nor can it be sold. That is a way to protect the integrity of the inshore fishery.
