We've stabilized the funding for the salmon enhancement program, but what we don't have stabilized is the environment we're working in. We have a wild salmon policy that we'd like to complement by the work of the salmon enhancement program. We have to re-evaluate how that program will run into the future, because when we established these hatcheries, it was a different environment, and we had different marine survival, etc. We need now to look at where we're going to be operating in the next 20 or 30 years as we reinvest in this infrastructure and determine how we can use it to help preserve what we can preserve and augment what can be supported by the marine environment.
