In 2019, the House of Commons Standing Committee on Fisheries and Oceans issued a document requiring DFO to balance the Atlantic salmon and striped bass populations in the Southern Gulf of Saint Lawrence. Since that time DFO has done nothing to comply with the Standing Committee report. Today, the population of Atlantic salmon is at an all-time low, and striped bass is at an all-time high. Science has shown that this imbalance spells doom for the salmon.
