Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all the witnesses for being available today.
Mr. Edwards, you talked about a pilot program for co-operative aquatic management with the federal, provincial, Nuu-chah-nulth and local governments. Can you tell us how, when and why the program seems to have been abandoned?

Thank you.
I guess the next question here is for Mr. Edwards, Ms. Scarfo and Mr. Mirau.
You've all talked about what appears to be a broken system. Some of you have mentioned that consultation seems to be a sham. We've heard this from east coast fishers as well.
Is the consultation process working as it used to, or where are the roadblocks? What do you see as the challenges?

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Let me begin by challenging Mr. Hardie's suggestion that there was a lot of conflicting evidence from our witnesses on the problems with the wild salmon fishery. That simply is not the case. In fact, there's been a great deal of consistent testimony. Indeed, except for allocation of fisheries and perhaps access to the different fisheries, there's remarkable consistency in testimony. We've heard consistently about a dysfunctional DFO. We've heard about a lack of stock assessments, failure to base decisions on science, lack of consultation with stakeholders and broken governance models. Much of that has been reaffirmed today at this meeting.
Mr. Edwards, you said that we need to dismantle the entire organization. I just want to be clear about what organization you are referring to. Are you referring to DFO's Pacific region or the regional aquatic management board or some other organization?

That is, of course, consistent with testimony we've heard at other meetings where we're reviewing the decline in salmon stocks.
Could you tell us what that dismantlement would look like in practice? If you dismantle, you have to replace it with something that's going to be effective. Be as brief as possible, because I have one other question.

Thank you. If you could expand on that and send that to us in writing, we'd be glad to review that as well. I know you don't have a lot of time to expand on it, but we'd be glad to receive something in writing from you.
I have a question for Ms. Scarfo and Mr. Mirau.
Both of you have referenced the U.S. experience. Ms. Scarfo, you talked about the fact that you're taking mostly U.S. fish. Mr. Mirau, you talked about the U.S. experience and what the Americans did to protect and restore salmon stocks.
If you could both perhaps respond, what is it that we haven't done in Canada specifically that the U.S. has done successfully to ensure that its salmon stocks remain healthy, whether it's in Washington state or up in Alaska?

Ms. Scarfo, you suggested that there has to be disaster relief for your industry. We know that the commercial processors and harvesters have a special fund or special funds that address the impact of COVID on their industries. The disaster relief you're referring to is much broader than just COVID, I assume.

Looking at who we've heard from so far, I would agree that we need two to three more meetings after today. We have heard from one side on the salmon aquaculture issue; we haven't yet heard from the aquaculture farmers themselves in this study. We have some science that we haven't heard about.
I agree that I'd rather finish this study before we move on to another one. We need to finish this one so that it's rounded out. If we don't and we don't bring in a well-rounded committee list, we risk the chance of the report being dismissed as incomplete by some of the other stakeholders we haven't heard from.

I agree with Mel. If we issue a report in which key stakeholders have not participated and they come back and criticize the report and say they weren't consulted so how can these recommendations have any real weight or credibility, we will have failed. This promises to be a major report and set of recommendation that will hopefully move the protection and enhancement of our wild salmon stocks forward.
Again, I would think we would want to have at least three more meetings with witnesses.
Obviously our team will get back to you, Mr. Chair, with additional witnesses we hope will fill the gaps in testimony that still exist. Then perhaps, there would be one more meeting for drafting instructions.

Thank you for looking into getting us in early if possible. I think we see a situation on the west coast that's very dire right now with regard to the salmon. These people need help. For the industry, the economy and the indigenous and non-indigenous, it's a big issue, so I think we need to carry on with this, get it wrapped up and get those recommendations in.
Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for being here today. Your expert testimony is valued by this committee.
I want to start with Ms. Morton.
Ms. Morton, you mentioned the Cohen commission and the Broughton Archipelago. The Cohen commission has 75 recommendations. Recommendations 18 and 19 clearly state that the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans should prohibit net-pen salmon farming in the Discovery Islands by September 30, 2020—that's this year, next month—unless the minister is “satisfied that such farms pose at most a minimal risk of serious harm to the health of migrating Fraser River sockeye salmon.”
In your opening remarks this morning, you said that it's not possible for the minister to make that decision. Could you expand on why the minister will not be able to make that decision?
