On that issue, we know that there are a range of different technologies. As Mr. Blais had indicated, there are tanks that have been put on land, out of the water. This causes a dynamic head; water has to be pumped from the sea into the tanks, so you do have pumping problems. To overcome that, some people who have put the tanks on land have put them in the ground, thus reducing the amount of head required to pump water up.
There are a whole range of different technologies that can be exploited; the problem is that there is no incentive being given for anybody to exploit or use those different technologies. There are too many excuses being made that it can't be done or that it's too costly or that there are things that can't happen, when in fact we know those technologies exist. We know they work for other species of fish, and there's no reason to believe that they can't work for Atlantic salmon. We simply need to try to get some kind of program in place in Canada that will enable people to experiment with those technologies and move forward at a much more rapid pace. As long as we just keep talking about it, it isn't going to happen.
Thank you.
