There should have been more. We were surprised at how quickly they did that. I think they were told by their own scientists, “Don't do that.” Every time we get reports at our meetings in British Columbia, the fisheries scientists say, “There's little or no effect of farm fish on the wild stocks.” They couldn't make it any more clear. Then all of a sudden, bang, bang, bang. It really hurt. I live in Campbell River. We had a couple of plants here that are just going to suffer and maybe not even stay open. We're talking about 7,000 workers in the fish farm industry.
