I do agree with that. It hearkens back to the old salmonid enhancement days in the 1970s and 1980s. In my view, it's basically pocket change. British Columbia is salmon, and salmon is British Columbia.
I would add, though, and it goes back to my “heart of the Fraser” issue with the large islands, that if we can't stem the tide of some of these really serious habitat losses and that particular stretch between Hope and Mission, which is absolutely critical to Fraser River stocks.... We have Big Bar, we have the heart of the Fraser, we have sea lice and mouth rot. These are catastrophic things.
Although I know stuff about fish farms and I'm familiar with it, my focus again would be on the heart of the Fraser. Take some of that money, which DFO has been hesitant to do, and put it into that.
