Summary:

Federal and provincial oversight of the aquaculture industry is failing due to poor communication between ministries. It is concerning that foreign aquaculture companies are not being held accountable to Canadian laws that prevent the use of environmentally-harmful substances. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency must be provided with data about pathogen outbreaks on salmon feedlots, and fish farms must be inspected by the government.
