Lastly, as a current Vancouver Islander.... I was a Cape Breton Islander. Ransom Myers was a dear friend of mine, and we tried for years to protect the North Atlantic cod stocks while DFO practised a religion of believing there was a thing called the “spawning biomass”. We had paper fish but not real fish. I would have hoped that by now DFO's culture had changed.
Do you think that at this point we should move the promotion of aquaculture maybe to the Department of Agriculture and Agri-Food, and take it right away from DFO?
