Peter Julian says he is "stunned" by the federal government's lack of preparation to address the issue of fish farms in B.C.

Julian, the NDP fisheries critic for B.C., said he asked Gail Shea, the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans, on Wednesday what the feds intend to do now that the B.C. Supreme Court has ruled that the controversial fish farms must be regulated by Ottawa and not the province.
