What I can tell my colleague is that the science is evolving. Across the world, when it comes to aquaculture, whether it's industry or government, people want the best possible practices to protect wildlife species.
Fisheries and Oceans Canada therefore works in collaboration with universities, environmental groups and everyone across the aquaculture sector. The department's objectives are to ensure the protection of wildlife species and to foster interactions between the two sectors. That work is ongoing, and it must continue.
