Morton says, “We are shocked that DFO would even consider this proposed regulation, setting up a mechanism to kill wild fish to protect farmed salmon. Canada is blatantly ignoring its own federal Inquiry Inquiry into the Decline of Sockeye Salmon in the Fraser River. The Cohen Commission’s recommendations clearly state that DFO must step away from promoting salmon farming and act in accordance with its paramount regulatory objective to conserve wild fish. An industry that refuses to deal with its manure, needs to release chemicals that kill fish and has asked the government to kill wild fish does not belong in Canada’s most valuable fishing grounds.”
Hmmm....who else is ignoring the inquiry findings? Could it be.....Morton?
I accept the evidence of Dr. Dill and Dr. Noakes that wastes and chemicals discharged at salmon farms are unlikely to have any population level effects on Fraser River sockeye. - Justice Bruce Cohen (Cohen Final Report; Vol. 2; Ch. 5; pg. 113).
