For once CFM and I are in complete agreement. I see NOTHING that says there will be any less fish caught. Only that those who stay will be able to catch more. I have seen similar buybacks in B.C. salmon licneses and what happend was the remaining guys bought bigger boats and caught more fish!

This stinks. If the fish are in trouble, it's primarily becasue these guys wiped out the stocks. Let them quit if the business is failing.

Next thing you know we will be giving oil companies tax breaks becasue they pumped all the oil out of their wells. Oh yeah, we already do that. How about buying out timber companies once they have logged all the trees.?
