Hatcheries are not the primary focus of the work on the salmon restoration and innovation fund. As you will have seen from the terms of reference, it's fairly broad, but the focus is very much on restoration.
We are certainly open to conversations around hatcheries. We will be having those at tables focused on things like the Fraser River chinook. The issue around hatcheries is a controversial one. There are certain areas in which hatcheries have a role to play, but you have to be very careful from a scientific perspective as to the balance between wild and hatchery-produced fish in areas where the wild stocks remain healthy.
That is less of a concern in areas where you have close to extirpated the wild stocks, but there is a scientific issue we need to work through. We are going to be doing that with first nations, commercial fishers, recreation fishers and environmental organizations.
