I don't know if your committee has consulted salmon producers or people working in aquaculture, but, to my knowledge, they are all very hostile to the idea of GM salmon or fish, for all kinds of reasons.
I wanted to point out that GM salmon is not larger, but rather grows faster. It matures in 18 months instead of three years. That's the reality of the matter.
The biological risks related to wild salmon contamination, which, among other things, poses a threat to biodiversity, are so great that the Royal Society of Canada was very clear on the issue: it called for a moratorium on aquaculture in oceans to prevent this contamination. This is something you should look into, in addition to the alfalfa and all the other issues. The recommendations made by the Royal Society of Canada must be implemented without fail.
This is also a matter of transparency. There has been a lot of talk about public and market confidence, but the confidence is also based on transparency. We must reassure outside markets that we are making the best scientific decisions based on the best independent expertise.
