On both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, advocates of salmon aquaculture made the following arguments: pathogens (bacteria, viruses) are part of the natural world; pathogens are no different in farmed fish than they are in wild fish populations; there is no scientific evidence that diseased farmed fish have had an impact on wild stocks, or vice versa; and it is much more likely that wild fish infect farmed stocks because, unlike natural stocks, farmed fish are monitored for disease and treated.

Additional government initiatives that are helping our livestock sector include: $51 million for improvements to the temporary foreign workers program to address labour availability in the processing sector; $76 million to combat the circovirus in the hog industry, with $25 million available in direct financial assistance for testing and vaccines; and $80 million provided to develop the infrastructure to dispose of specified risk materials from slaughtered animals.

With reference to infectious salmon anemia (ISA) and its possible effect on salmon and other marine life on Canada's east and west coasts: (a) where on the east coast has the disease been found amongst farmed Atlantic salmon, how many pens have reported the disease, how many farms, and how many bays; (b) what action has been taken by aquaculture operators to control the disease on the east coast, how many farmed Atlantic salmon have been slaughtered, and what was their value; (c) what chemicals, antibiotics or other medicines have the aquaculture operators on the east coast used to prevent or control the disease, and which of these pro ...[+++]ducts have been approved for use in the marine environment; (d) what is the effect on wild salmon, shellfish and other marine life of the chemicals, antibiotics or other medicines used by aquaculture operators to prevent or control the disease; (e) is it possible that local wild species of salmon and other marine life on the east coast have been affected by the strain of the disease found amongst farmed salmon, if so which species of wild salmon and other marine life are most susceptible to the disease, and which of these species would be most threatened by the disease; (f) what is the responsibility of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans in regard to this strain of the disease, more particularly what responsibility does the department by statute have in dealing with this disease when found in sea-base aquaculture operations; (g) what responsibility does the Department of Fisheries and Oceans have to prevent the possible transmission of this strain of disease from aquaculutre operations on the east coast to local wild fish stocks; (h) what action has the Department of Fisheries and Oceans taken to ensure that this strain of the disease is not transmitted to wild fish stocks on the east coast; (i) has the Department of Fisheries and Oceans succeeded in preventing the transmission of this strain of the disease to wild stocks o ...

Q-54 — Mr. Robinson (Burnaby—Douglas) — With regard to Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) survey tests of domestic and imported aquaculture fish: (a) what drugs, chemicals, contaminants and pesticides were included in these tests; (b) what are the tolerance levels for these compounds under current Canadian regulations; (c) when were these tolerance levels last updated; (d) what scientific research has been conducted on potential impacts from PCBs since these tolerance levels were first established; (e) what is the number of fish tested annually in CFIA surveys; (f) what is the percentage of imported fish tested in these surveys; (g) what percentage of Chilean farmed salmon imports is tested for malachite green; (h) what percentag ...[+++]e of Chilean farmed salmon has tested positive for malachite green; (i) what is the percentage of fish tested in relation to the amount imported/exported; (j) what are the Canadian standards for allowable residues of malachite green; (k) what percentage of Canadian farmed salmon and trout is tested for malachite green; (l) what are the Canadian standards for antibiotic residues in farmed fish; (m) what percentage of Canadian farmed salmon is tested for antibiotic residues; (n) how many times has the CFIA recalled farmed fish because of elevated levels of antibiotic residues; (o) what are the Canadian standards for levels of the therapeutant emamectin benzoate in farmed fish; and (p) what percentage of Canadian farmed fish is tested for emamectin benzoate?

We currently have hatcheries, salmon farms and processing operations in every province in Atlantic Canada, in Newfoundland, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, P.E.I. and also in the state of Maine.
