I have a question for all three of you. This is a hypothetical question. I don't want to put anybody in a terribly difficult or awkward position, but if you had a list of three things you could do....
I'm just going to ask you straight up. I'm asking each of you your opinion. If the farms were completely removed, would you say we would see an immediate recovery in the health of salmon stocks in the Fraser and throughout the west coast?
If we just did that one thing.... I understand that there's a multitude of things, but in your opinion, because I'm sure you guys think about this full time, if we were to remove the farms, would you guarantee that it would improve the likelihood that these stocks, whether they be chinook, coho or whatever, would recover, assuming that all the fisheries management and everything else stays the same?
