First Nations counter Mowi, Cermaq and Grieg allegations against Canada's former fisheries minister

Lawyers representing several First Nations told a court that Canada’s obligations to Indigenous people was the primary -- and correct -- rationale for the decision to phase out netpen salmon farming in Discovery Islands.

Mowi is asking to be allowed to transfer fish to its Phillips Arm site. Kwiakah Nation’s territory is centered in Phillips Arm, but the move was agreed to by the Kwiakah First Nation in a prior agreement, according to Mowi. — Mowi is asking to be allowed to transfer fish to its Phillips Arm site.
