Résumé :
Les restrictions imposées à Alexandra Morton en ce qui a trait à la diffusion de renseignements sur les maladies alimentent les soupçons selon lesquels le MPO et le ministère de l’Agriculture de la C.-B. sont les instruments de l’industrie salmonicole. Les maladies des saumons d’élevage représentent un risque important pour les stocks sauvages, et il importe de rendre publics les renseignements sur les éclosions.

Représentations :
What is with the restrictions being put on Alexandra Morton with respect to sharing information with the public. As a former salmon farmer myself (I worked as microbiologist - i.e. a disease specialist), I understand that disease is a common occurence on farms (of all kinds, not just salmon farms) - I also know that diseases of farmed salmon can constitute a significant risk to wild stocks. It is important to get information about outbreaks into the public domain so we can fairly assess the risk to wild stocks. It is very easy to get the impression that the DFO & BC Agriculture are working as "tools" of salmon farming industry. This secrecy plays into this suspician.
