I believe that we've been looking at how to manage the salmon fishery in British Columbia over the last number of years. Clearly this year we're not going to be faced with—at least hopefully not—an abundance issue. But in the past we've had to manage small fisheries, and there was a problem with the entire fleet. They couldn't show up and have it properly managed, so efforts were under way to look at different approaches to managing those smaller contained fisheries so that they could be opened under different circumstances. Instead of having all the gillnets, for example, show up at an opening, we would have a small number pool or go to quotas, etc., to prosecute those fisheries. Those kinds of discussions have been ongoing with the industry, so it's not just an ITQ imposition on the fleet, it's a different approach to allow for those smaller contained fisheries to take place if there's an opportunity and a smaller surplus than otherwise would support a bigger fishery.
