Economic and Financial Impacts of the Draft Transition Plan for B.C. Salmon Farms

Science cannot convince everyone. Take the Science of agriculture. It's probably the first science. But on Canada's west coast where a tidy salmon farm industry produces beautiful pathogen-free fresh daily, and activists stop the food safe year round scientific product for a gamey, wormy, unpredictable seasonal unsustainable invasion into nature's preserve.

"Going directly to a ban by 2029 will result in significant long-term negative socio-economic impacts in British Columbia and Canada. It will reverse and harm once positive Indigenous economic development and reconciliation efforts and severely impact employment in areas with a history of underemployment. An unjustified ban and push to unproven technology on salmon farming in B.C. will reduce Canadian agri-food production by 400 million healthy meals per year, eliminate B.C.’s top agri-food export, destroy 4,560 jobs, and cost Canadian taxpayers at least $9 billion."
