Does aquaculture harm wild salmon? Conservationist says it does. NL minister says it's not a sure thing

A Department of Fisheries and Oceans report on salmon stocks in the Conne River says aquaculture is a major factor in salmon decline in the river. Provincial fisheries minister Elvis Loveless - after admitting he hasn't read the report - .says he would debate that. But it turns out he WOULDN'T debate that. We asked him to join us in today's interview with Atlantic Salmon Federation conservationist Neville Crabbe, but Loveless's spokesperson referred us to the minister's statement from earlier in the week.
