In a purely speculative and hypothetical way, one could look at what might happen in New Brunswick. The number of permits in New Brunswick is roughly similar to the provincial regulatory perspective of both the New Brunswick Department of Agriculture and Aquaculture and the New Brunswick Department of the Environment. In addition, New Brunswick has a series of what I would describe as watershed authority permits that are required. I should add that those apply in British Columbia as well. There's a whole series of non-aquaculture specific regulatory tools. But if one were to imagine a similar scenario unfolding in New Brunswick, the reduction in provincial permit activity would drop by a factor roughly akin to what we see in B.C.
