Yes, it's certainly having an impact on the local involvement on the river. There's no question about that. We're seeing a bit of a change. It would probably be skewed a little bit more to a non-resident fishery—not simply a non-resident, as in south of the border, but non-resident as in people who tend to come from the cities, other parts of the province and other parts of the Maritimes to fish.
The reality is that nobody really wants to take a fish home with them if they're travelling any more than a few minutes from the river. The retention fishery is of great value to the local person, not because it is a piece of meat, but because it's attached to his bloodstream, as it were, to what goes on in his backyard, to that sort of special kind of connection that we have to nature. It's that part that is most eroded by this.
There are people who come from outside the river system who do want to retain a fish for a variety of reasons. Many of them are still willing to come, but it's that local component, the ones who live right within earshot of the river or within casting distance, those are the ones who are perhaps most concerned about this. We've lost that contact. We've lost that lore. We've lost that connection to the history. As a result of that, to some extent we lose the ability to understand the complexities of the river from a local perspective, and that is of great concern.
