The impact is that the programs would have to be curtailed. I'll give a couple of examples of the devastation that would create.
We would have to really cut back on the delivery of sea lamprey control in Canada. The other biggest impact is that the research that really drives fishery management decision-making would have to be significantly curtailed as well, simply because we wouldn't have funding for that any more.
To address this gap, we're looking to be able to, for the most part, continue the programming we have right now, to be able deliver the objectives and the results that are required based on the mandate.
The point I was going to make about lamprey is that they rebound very quickly. They're like a coiled spring. You take your hand off the spring and they recoil and rebound very quickly, as we've seen twice during the last 30 years or so. If we were to curtail the programs, then we would see a quick rebounding of the lamprey population, and each lamprey kills 18 kilograms of fish during its 18-month to two-year cycle in its parasitic phase.
