Thank you.
I have heard concerns about the shipment of endangered whale meat through Canadian ports and territories. A few years ago there was a case that involved 12 containers of endangered fin whale meat that were shipped through Canada, from Halifax to Vancouver, which was legal in Canada despite our being a signatory to CITES. I am concerned about the implications of expanding these transshipments and I am concerned to see Canada play a more significant role in the trade of controversial goods, such as endangered species. What can be done to address this situation?
