That is an increase that exists only in your own mind. It is not a real increase. It is simply due to the fact that people are doing more monitoring now and reporting small algal blooms. I would remind you that algal blooms in Canada and the United States are not a public health issue. Do you know how many people have died as a result of cyanobacteria in the last 50 years in the United States and Canada? Can you give me a number?
