Fish farms in Broughton Archipelago to be phased out by 2023

As a side not to this I recently watch trudeau give a talk where he said he believes that “Free, prior and informed consent.” means consent, However he added a site not that he said where multiple first nations are involved he believed that a democratic process should happen and they just need the majority. Will be interesting to see what happens with Bill C-262.

B.C. salmon farm agreement a milestone for Indigenous rights

"
Horgan and other politicians frequently say the UN declaration is not a veto over development, but the province’s retreat from the Broughton Archipelago amount to much the same thing. Ten of the long-standing provincial tenures between Kingcome and Knight Inlets off the north end of Vancouver Island are to be gone by 2023, and the other seven can continue only if the Kwikwasut’inuxw Haxwa’mis, ‘Namgis and Mamalilikulla First Nations give their consent.

The salmon farming companies, Marine Harvest and Cermaq, give up their sites and get little in return. They are allowed to apply to the federal government for new aquaculture licences elsewhere on the B.C. coast, and company representatives say they intend to protect the jobs of 600 employees affected by the shutdowns."
