Industry, conservationists welcome Ottawa's delay on B.C. salmon farm transition plan

“Work continues in the development of the transition plan, incorporating feedback received through consultations,” the statement said. “To respond to requests from First Nations and others, we have extended consultation on the open-net pen aquaculture transition to all interested parties through the summer. The transition plan will be shared in due course.”

Brian Kingzett, B.C. Salmon Farmers Association executive director, said the delay will give Murray more time to consider the impact of closing a lucrative industry that supports thousands of jobs. Bob Chamberlin, a spokesman for B.C.’s First Nation Wild Salmon Alliance, which represents about 100 Indigenous nations opposed to the open-net fish farms, said the extension period should provide more time to build their case to support wild salmon.Article content
