Fisheries Minister Shea probably did not get the letter right away because she was in Norway attending an aqua culture (fish farm) trade show.

Meanwhile another sea lice factory has been proposed for the Johnstone Strait.
A proposed new fish farm in Johnstone Strait has won a qualified approval from the Strathcona Regional District, which takes in the midsection of Vancouver Island and a stretch of the mainland north of Powell River.
"This is where the waters funnel through Johnstone Strait," Ruby Berry, a spokeswoman for Coastal Alliance for Aquaculture Reform, said Friday. "All of the juvenile salmon that migrate through the Georgia Strait have to pass by this farm."
