Yes, certainly. They've done it in the major centres as well, with articles in the Vancouver Sun, The Province and the The Globe and Mail. The only really positive newspaper that covers the area in a practical sense is the National Post. I believe they have a good handle on what actually happens in British Columbia and its economy.
I don't feel there's a way of handling anything while the campaigns that are being waged against fish farming, as it stands, continue to succeed. I don't believe there is a possibility of increasing the number of people employed in fish farms until such time as these people face reality.
I'm hoping that the amount of support the Namgis will have on their land base operation will let people know, and let those organizations understand, that it's not practical for them to denigrate the product. That's one of the areas in which the opposition has been fairly difficult to deal with—creating a negative image about the product.
The product is an absolutely beautiful product. In fact, in most of the good restaurants in Vancouver that's the product that is presented as fresh fish. For that reason alone I believe these groups should back away, and let the economy and the nature of the people take effect on it, carry on the way they should be able to carry on, and increase the number of jobs they have in production, transportation, and processing.
I believe there is tons of potential there. Its footprint on Vancouver Island and the coast north of here is minute. There's no reason in the world why it shouldn't be allowed to expand at the level the economy would justify.
