First Nations coalition urges Ottawa to stop closing salmon farms where they’re wanted
A coalition of coastal First Nations is in Ottawa this week to meet with federal decision-makers about the importance of a sustainable salmon farming industry in B.C.
“It makes no sense that the Government of Canada is trying to shut down any sustainable salmon farming supported by Nations when DFO’s own science says just that – it is sustainable,” Roberts continued. “We are the original environmentalists, not the fancy downtown activists. We have stewarded wild salmon for thousands of years, and our guardians and monitors continue to protect it.
“Like other Canadians, we want our people to have good jobs. And like other Canadians, we want families to be able to afford healthy food. These government policies are making salmon more expensive for everyone,” Robinson said.
