Well, I've only seen negative effects from the aquaculture industry in my area.
During Mr. Weston's term as provincial minister, permission was granted to establish three salmon farm sites in my area. Now, these sites take away lobster fishing ground. We lose so many acres of ground to these sites. It's their site and you're not allowed on it, and it would be dangerous to put traps there. You would lose the traps anyhow, and you lose a considerable number of traps due to the boats servicing these sites and towing cages from one site to another. That's kind of a nasty habit that they have of towing these huge circular cages from one site to another. It tends to foul the lobster traps or else rip them off--trap gone, with the trap's $100 value or thereabouts, plus the loss of fishing for the season with the trap. Then the ghost fishing that takes place from that lost trap.
I only see the negativity of it in my area. I don't know what Dale sees.
Go ahead, Dale.
