I would add to that, as we said, that we've done a lot of research; a lot of money has been spent over the years and we don't seem to be any further ahead. Everything appears to me to be in silos. We need a bit more comprehensive leadership at the top level in trying to pull these things together, because we seem to go around and around in a circle. It's discouraging to think that DFO thinks that getting the smolts is not a very strong solution. The smolts are going to stay in a tank for 18 months. We said, look, put them in a tank for 18 months; get the best genetics in the world; we're going to host a symposium with the best genetics people we can find this year or later this year. Come to New Brunswick; have it out with the best genetics guys or women in the world and if they come to the conclusion in a year from now that the fish should not be released, let's process them and give them to a food bank or the aboriginal community. But we do have to try, and we have to come out in the spirit that we're going to win, and not just say no.
