Following an outcry from the salmon farming industry, the Trudeau government has backed away from its election campaign commitment to phase out open net-pen salmon farming on B.C.’s West Coast by 2025.
Jane Deeks, press secretary for Bernadette Jordan, Minister of Fisheries and Oceans, confirmed in an email to The Narwhal that a transition plan will be developed by 2025 but open net-pen salmon farms will not be removed by that date.
