Salmon has symbolic value on the west coast. It is definitely part of my mandate and my priorities. An entire segment of the economy revolves around salmon.
Earlier, the cultural aspect was mentioned in connection with the east coast, but it is the same thing on the west coast. I think it is important to work very closely with the people in the sector and with the United States. We are hearing a lot of things right now. It is not easy.
We have invested almost $700 million in a Pacific salmon strategy. We are going to continue to work together to protect the species. As we know, there are droughts on the west coast and the salmon sometimes have trouble getting up the rivers. So we need to work in tandem and cooperatively to protect the resource.
