Fin Donnelly at the Fisheries and Oceans Committee

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you to all four of our witnesses for providing your testimony on this important subject of wild Atlantic salmon.

I will start with you, Mr. Taylor. You spoke about the precautionary approach in moving aquaculture to closed containment. My question is, if the salmon farming industry in the east coast moved to closed containment, do you think this would have a positive impact on wild Atlantic salmon?
