Skeena-Bulkley Valley MP Taylor Bachrach has been appointed as the NDP’s deputy critic for the DFO and Canadian Coastguard.
Bachrach will bring a crucial, and long-absent, north coast point of view to the job, working alongside incumbent critic Lisa Marie Baron.
In his new role, Bachrach will prioritize fisheries reconciliation, owner-operator reforms, science-based decision making, and better consultation with impacted communities.
As deputy critic, he will continue to support his party’s goals of removing salmon farms from the oceans, and protecting BC’s coasts from spills and dumping.
Despite the new duties, he will continue to serve as NDP transport critic as well.
