Yes, people are losing faith in the Canadian federal government on this issue because Trudeau clearly understands there's a problem with salmon farming. He understands people don't want it, so he made the election promise that this industry would be out of our waters by 2025. Then he assigned an east coast minister, who I don't really think has a grip on the severity of the situation here in British Columbia. She started saying, no, it wasn't to get it out of the water; it was to have a plan to get it out of the water.
As of yesterday, in a radio interview, she seems to have flopped back in the other direction. I just feel like the government's not sure whether it's more scared of the three salmon farming companies in British Columbia or the Canadians who see these wild salmon as a national treasure, food security—many things.
It's not a good situation, and I wonder whether Canada needs two ministers. This is a big country with two big coasts with very different needs and very different species. I really think we need a west coast minister, given the situation here in British Columbia, or at the very least, somebody at the regional management level whose whole life is understanding what is going on with these fish.
