It's a very tough question to answer from a practical standpoint. I'm aware there were various studies done. There was one study a couple of years ago that came out of the University of Alberta. It was proven by people who looked at the results of that particular study that it was erroneous. It was wrong. It should have never been publicized and given any credit. Unfortunately, it was. I wrote to the University of Alberta at the time objecting to the method in which it was done. It involved some extremists who were involved on a pseudo-technical basis, utilizing a lot of exaggeration and misinformation to try to denigrate the industry.
That kind of thing is continuing to happen. This Royal Society of Canada report I am not aware of. I'm sorry, I can't elaborate on that. Again, if there are any negative activities against aquaculture, I'm very suspicious of who the proponents are, where they are getting their funding from, and why they are doing what they are doing. It's not a practical, honest, and decent way of running a country, province, or an industry in that province. We should have the freedom to do these kinds of things in the proven areas that we have.
We have already proven that this industry works well. It works well in Scotland. I know it works well in Ireland. It works very well in Norway. I've made two different trips to Norway at my own expense to see exactly what was happening in aquaculture there. I went there about 30 years ago. I went again about three years ago. I was very impressed by the industry there. They have had their problems. We've had our problems. There will be problems no matter where we go with any method of fish farming or any other kind of farming. It's up to whatever is the best way possible to fund the kind of proper research that will make sure we don't screw up in the future and harm that industry in any way, whatsoever.
