The Hill Times
Recent news articles have focused on the increased risk that last summer’s cabinet shuffle changing fisheries ministers from British Columbia’s Joyce Murray to Gaspé’s Diane Lebouthillier may undermine long-promised actions to get open-pen aquaculture out of B.C. waters. The issue of the threat to wild Pacific salmon from foreign-owned aquaculture operations growing a non-native species of Atlantic salmon is well known.
The Green Party believes that growing fish for food should be done on land and regulated by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. I am so grateful that former minister Murray is following up on the commitment to get open-pen toxic fish factories out of our waters. British Columbians are deeply committed to our wild salmon. Over the years, British Columbian ministers of fisheries have really fought to protect our salmon.
