Summary:
The joint letter by Alexandra Morton and Brian Riddell published on June 24 in the Campbell River Courier Islander was highly inappropriate, as Morton has been granted standing and Riddell is on the commission’s Scientific Advisory Panel. The timing of Morton’s honourary degree from SFU also appears to be inappropriate, since members of the Scientific Advisory Panel are from that university. Morton’s claims about the fish farming industry are incorrect; care is taken by the industry to ensure that no damage is done to the environment.
