BC MP Candidate Pledge Tracker

The vast majority of British Columbians and 102 First Nations support the continued transition of open net pen salmon farms out of BC waters. We have asked candidates running for federal office in BC to sign the following Pledge to show their support for wild Pacific salmon.

“I believe in protecting wild Pacific salmon. I am aware of the risks posed to wild Pacific salmon in BC by open net pen salmon farms. I confirm my support for a continued transition away from open net pen salmon farms in the coastal waters of British Columbia, with appropriate incentives to transition the industry to land based closed containment aquaculture by 2025.”

2021 Commitments

Maintain the decision to remove salmon farms from the Discovery Islands, but model the transition after the process that has been undertaken in the Broughton Archipelago to be more respectful of local First Nations, communities, and workers.

Work with Indigenous and provincial governments to phase out open net-pen finfish aquaculture in Pacific waters by 2025 and all Canadian waters by 2030. 

Work with the province and Indigenous communities to create a responsible plan to transition from open-net pen salmon farming in coastal British Columbia waters by 2025.

We will fully implement the recommendations of the Cohen Commission and work with the province of British Columbia and First Nations to support the transition to land-based closed-containment systems.
