The ministry has actually invested into closed containment and has looked at closed containment aquaculture for quite a few years now. This was probably started—I don't have the dates in front of me, but I'm trying to think—maybe in the early nineties or before then, when money was provided by the provincial government to look at land-based facilities or to support the development of a land-based facility. The facility in Cedar had funding from the provincial government. The bag systems that were developed were largely developed through programs in collaboration with the provincial government. In fact, before the changeover we were involved with the Namgis project as well.
We've looked at several systems and we've been involved in several projects. In each case, the projects are very expensive, and the results that have come back haven't demonstrated a significant benefit, or they've failed. So it's very difficult to constantly spend a lot of money on projects unless you're seeing some sort of progress.
There were the notable projects, like the project at Cedar, which failed, and the Future SEA bags project, which had some problems. In each case, we did learn something. We learned something from the Cedar site and we learned something from the Future SEA bags.
We've been working with the Middle Bay group on the solid wall systems and we're working closely with the Namgis project. When I say we're working with them, it's part of my job to work with these people on their projects and provide technical support, but we've also provided funding in dollars in various ways.
