Many times when we are at the table talking to DFO, we feel there is a conflict of interest. Sometimes they'll have the aquaculture hat on, and then they take it off and put the wild hat on. We find that to be troublesome and really difficult, at times, in terms of negotiations and working, because of where the interests lie. We feel there really should be a separation within DFO. They should be one or the other, but not both. A lot of conflicts have arisen from that, and it's something that we really feel should change.
