'If that’s the way we’re going to operate, we’re not going to have an economy': First Nation leader on Canada salmon farming phaseout

A 24-year-old partnership between the Kitasoo/Xai’xais First Nation and Mowi is at stake as Canada's Fisheries Minister considers renewing Klemtu's salmon farm licenses.

Mowi's Klemtu operations in British Columbia could be halted if Canada's Fisheries Minister does not renew six licenses for the farms.
