I agree, Madam Minister. Part of the solution is prevention. The federal government has not lived up to what's been requested by agencies.
Madam Minister, the Cohen commission report of 2012 told the previous government that timely and thorough scientific investigations were needed to determine the effects of B.C. salmon farms on wild pacific salmon. Why did your government fail to ensure the completion of the strategic salmon health initiative, which had already conducted years of work? Will you work with the strategic salmon health initiative partners to ensure that the science recommendation by Cohen 11 years ago is finally completed?
