Madam Minister, we'll go to the west coast, if you don't mind.
I want to go back 12 years to October 2012 and the Cohen commission's report on Fraser River salmon. I want to check and see whether, in fact, the following is in your mandate, or at least on your radar.
Recommendation 3 in Justice Cohen's report says:
The Government of Canada should remove from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans' mandate the promotion of salmon farming as an industry and farmed salmon as a product.
This has been recognized as putting the DFO in a very difficult, conflicted situation since 2012, because there have certainly been suggestions that they have abandoned the precautionary principle in the past, in the interest of the promotion of the salmon farming industry.
I'm wondering if there has at least been any discussion, if not progress, on removing the salmon farming industry from the overview or scrutiny of the DFO, and putting it someplace where it doesn't put the DFO into a perceived conflict.
