That will probably cost them $13,000 a year, $13,000 in additional costs.</p>\n<p>At a time when fish prices are depressed, the Fraser River is to be shutdown for a year and when fishermen are going broke, how does the minister dare saddle B.C. fishermen with another $13,000 a year in additional costs?</p>",
