The aquaculture giant Cermaq Canada Ltd. is taking the Canadian government to court again, this time for alleged damages caused by the federal decision to remove open-net pen salmon farms from B.C.香蕉视频直播檚 Discovery Islands.

Cermaq filed a civil suit in the Supreme Court of British Columbia in February 2025, naming the Attorney General of Canada, the Ministry of Fisheries and Oceans, the Canadian Coast Guard and former fisheries minister Joyce Murray. The lawsuit alleges that Cermaq suffered millions of dollars in damages because of the federal government's flawed decision to remove fish farms from the Discovery Islands in 2023, including what the lawsuit calls the alleged "misconduct" of Murray.

According to the lawsuit, Murray set up meetings with "external scientists, activists and environmental non-governmental organizations known to be opposed to aquaculture for the specific purpose of receiving submissions to justify her predetermined decision to not re-issue the Discovery Islands licences."
