The leader of P-E-I’s Green Party says he is concerned about the development of a controversial facility that plans to grow genetically modified salmon.
The P-E-I government recently approved AquaBounty Canada’s application to expand its current facility in Rollo Bay to grow the salmon from egg to market size.
Green Leader Peter Bevan-Baker says he has many concerns, including the taxpayer money that’s being handed to the company.
He says he believes the company is large enough to fund its own operations.
