My mandate only covers the federal government. I'm only allowed to audit the federal government, so I looked at its role in regulating this industry. In the Atlantic provinces, this industry is regulated for the most part by the provinces. In British Columbia, it is regulated by the federal government. It used to be regulated by the province and now it's regulated by the federal government.
What I can say is that the Auditor General of Nova Scotia audited aquaculture in that province. Nobody has looked specifically yet at Newfoundland, as far as I know.
