It would have a devastating effect. A large portion of our yearly income is from salmon. We support a lot of local businesses. This last year we've spent probably $25,000 in Prince Rupert just on building a herring skiff. Two years ago we put a new refrigeration system in. That was done out of North Saanich. We put an engine in the boat. That was done in Nanaimo.
In the last three to four years, we've spent a significant amount of money in local communities that just wouldn't be there. Salmon is probably about half of our income each year. If we didn't have a salmon fishery, it would be really devastating.
