The other issue, of course, is...in terms of Pacific salmon, basically, the runs are coming back as a combination of sockeye, pink salmon, salmon from Cultus Lake, salmon from Sakinaw Lake, and all that sort of stuff. So what you have is a stream of fish coming from the open seas off British Columbia into the Fraser River. In that stream down there, there's maybe a sockeye salmon here, a Cultus Lake salmon there, so it really became extremely difficult: how do you do it with respect to stopping the whole salmon fishery in order to isolate, if you will, a couple of subspecies in the run? Basically, what was introduced were conservation measures that pretty well duplicated, if you will, what the SARA would do, except for the prohibition.
