Résumé :
La Commission ne devrait pas tenir le MPO responsable de son mandat de protéger le saumon sauvage. Il faut enlever les fermes d’élevage des routes migratoires du saumon et les déménager sur la terre ferme.

Représentations :
I would like to express my great concern about the ISA situation in BC salmon. ISA is critical factor in the health of our wild salmon stocks.

I am heartened that the Commission is reopening its doors to try to get to the bottom of this matter, and I urge that you make the DFO accountable for upholding its mandate to preserve and protect our wild salmon.

We must have independent testing, of both wild and farmed fish, and openly investigate the situation.

Further, the precautionary principle means, in my estimation, that we must get salmon feedlots off migratory salmon routes immediately, and ultimately out our oceans altogether and on land, where they cannot kill off our immensely important wild salmon.

Regards,

Jill Schroder
