Yes, I go over this in my document, which has a lot more detail and synthesis and the actual specific references. Essentially, we had a federal inquiry that put the onus on DFO to show that salmon farms were of minimal risk. My experience was that there were initially going to be 10 risk assessments. I assumed one of them would be sea lice. One risk assessment needed to be on sea lice, really. As we moved from 2012 to 2020, which was the deadline the Cohen inquiry put on DFO to come up with this evidence, soon it appeared that there were only going to be nine risk assessments. In the meantime, there were some pretty interesting lab studies being conducted in DFO looking at sea lice effects on sockeye.
I personally believe that DFO maybe changed the plan because that research turned out to be quite significant in showing that sea lice dramatically affect the health of sockeye salmon. DFO started to communicate about this evidence that they had of minimal risk, but they don't talk about these studies at all in their communications at the press conference or later on, when they talked to media people. I think it's because this research was inconvenient, and that's the clear example I illustrate in my document.
