Hi Dominic/Justin
Trying to triple
in-ocean fish farms is more than a decade out of step with society and the
industry. It’s a dinosaur move and Canadians are completely against it
On-land is the only
way forward. The companies - Marine Harvest, Cermaq and Grieg Seafood - can go back to Norway and set up on land there, because
their own country has become fed up with their environmental damage in the
ocean. When Norway is fed up, Canada needs to pay attention.
The Atlantic
Sapphire, on-land, 150,000mt plant coming on stream in Florida may well wipe out
the entire Canadian industry because its main market, the USA, will be taken
away, from a product that has cost benefits and consumer preference going for
it. See item 176 in this post: http://fishfarmnews.blogspot.ca/2016/05/152-different-on-land-fish-farm-systems.html.
And that report
below is a long way away from the real stats. Fish farms are small in jobs. See
DFO’s own report, the BC Stats Report table: http://fishfarmnews.blogspot.ca/2017/09/fish-farms-are-small-in-bc-jobs-and.html.
This post has the table of stats, and commentary on how small fish farms really
are - 1700 multiplier jobs. And the actual number of jobs in BC is 820. I went out and found the
actual numbers.
Between your stance
on fish farms and Kinder Morgan, you, the Liberals, are on the verge of
alienating BC for a generation. That would make two provinces hate the name
Trudeau, over the same oil, and, in BC, salmon.
Before putting another fish farm anywhere in Canada - the east coast is also strongly against fish farms - put one in the Rideau Canal beside the Parliament buildings, and in the river below, put in a big farm of 2 million fish. In less than a year, I will bet you come to hate them as much as the rest of Canada.

Hi All;
I'm going
to be sick. Who is on this ill-informed Council??
“The
finance minister’s economic advisory council (in 2017) suggested a tripling of
production, which would lead to even more jobs and activity being created,” the
Canadian Aquaculture Industry Alliance report released Wednesday said.

aquaculture activity in the country mainly by expanding license areas,
judging by a hopeful-looking report

And here is a new article on the Spring Hill, on-land fish farm in the States, at the Conservation Fund’s Freshwater Institute in Shepherdstown, West Virginia. It completely eliminates all problems of in-ocean fish farms, including sewage that is made into nitrogen and phosphorous fertilizer: https://www.fastcompany.com/3068608/replacing-farms-with-fish-farms-the-odd-solution-to-both-hunger-and-cli.
