Mr. Speaker, I am glad my colleague touched on the subject of aquaculture.
It is also a big area of concern on Canada's other coast, in a the riding I am proud to represent, but particularly in northern Vancouver Island. We know our wild salmon populations are feeling an incredible amount of stress right now. There is a real movement afoot to try to get those open-net fish farms out of the way of wild salmon migration routes. In the 42nd Parliament, my previous colleague, Fin Donnelly, tried to move those open-net fish farms to closed containment, land-based systems.
Could my colleague inform the House what the Conservative Party's position is on that? I know the coastal residents of British Columbia would be very interested in that, given the threat fish farms pose to wild salmon populations.
