B.C. loses salmon farm jurisdiction

Alexandra Morton kicks ass.

The B.C. Supreme Court ruled Monday the federal government — not the
province — has exclusive jurisdiction over the management of salmon
farming, a landmark decision hailed as a victory for the future of wild
stocks.

“The regulation of fish farming by the province is ultra
vires, beyond its power,” said a triumphant Greg McDade, the lawyer who
pursued the case on behalf of independent sea-lice researcher Alexandra
Morton and others.
