Recommend that all fish farms be removed from BC waters immediately.

Submission:
Dear Justice Cohen,

Thank you for re-opening the Commission to investigate infectious Salmon Anemia Virus.

I hope you will recommend that all fish farms be removed from BC waters immediately. We cannot allow the west coast salmon fishery to go the way of the east coast cod fishery.

For the sake of future generations of both human and non-human animals, we must put the environment ahead of economics. The economy of Canada depends upon the health of the environment.

Thank you.

Valerie & Kevin Sheppard
