Canadian salmon farmers feed Canadian families.

Canadians want affordable, nutritious food that they can feed their families. They want to choose high-quality, Canadian products that contribute to the economy, and deliver on sustainability.

Government decisions to shut down 40 per cent of salmon farms in British Columbia have not only taken a toll on the communities supported by the sector, they have also significantly raised food prices and severely limited Canadians’ choice. Today, Canadians find their grocery stores stocked with salmon shipped in from other countries like Norway and Chile, with record high prices and an increased carbon footprint.

It is time for the Government of Canada to stop bowing to the misinformation campaigns of activists and support innovative, science-backed, sustainable Canadian salmon farming.
