Dear Premier Clark:
Salmon farms are dumping all their pathogens into public waters. When the Provincial government of BC cited salmon farms on the Fraser sockeye migration route in 1992, the Fraser sockeye began declining one generation later.
DFO scientist Dr. Kristi Miller, told the Cohen Inquiry last week that a virus is infecting, weakening and killing 100,000,000s of Fraser sockeye and the evidence suggests it began infecting the sockeye in 1996. Dr. Miller is not allowed to speak to the media, she was flanked by guards at the hearing and her funding has been cut.
On August 26, Justice Cohen made the BC provincial salmon farm disease records the only Exhibit out of 1,534 Exhibits - *not* available to the public. The lawyer for the Province of BC argued this was in the public good.
Premier Clark, I would like to know your position on this decision.
