I've been working with the present company for 10 years, and in that period of time three licences have been issued, the last of them in 2008. So in 2007-08, there were three licences issued, two of them to my company, and one to the Greek seafood company. There's been a hiatus since 2009, largely due to the shift in the regulatory regime from the province to the Canadian government.
