This is about finding, to the extent possible, the reasons for the deaths of the fingerlings and the spat. It is in everyone's interest to find as much information as possible. It needs to be credible information, something that those opposite clearly don't care about a great deal. It needs to be credible information, and I am very confident that all of the credible information that could be provided has been provided.</text>
