Summary:
The commission should consider all the biological evidence from the fish farm disease database.

Submission:
I would like to urge the Cohen Commission to consider all the facts available to it, especially all the biological evidence from the fish farm disease database. If fish farms are transmitting a virus to wild salmon and having a measurable effect on their viability, it behooves the Commission to weigh all the evidence and make the best decision - for British Columbia's wild salmon population, for the wildlife, the sportsfishermen, the commerical fishermen, and the food fishermen who rely on those fish.
