Summary:
The hearings on ISAv should be live streamed.

Submission:
I am a former resident of Prince Rupert and understand how important protecting our wild salmon stocks are. I'm outraged at how the people we have in place to protect our fisheries and environment are pawns of industry and secondly that your commission is refusing to allow live streaming of the extended hearings.

There are many concerned Canadians that are unable to make it to your commission and to conduct the most explosive part of your hearings without using the technology you allowed before seriously erodes the credibility of your commission.

I ask you to reconsider and allow live streaming of this public inquiry over the internet and CPAC. I along with my fellow citizens are paying for this inquiry and what is coming out is simply too important not to receive the public attention it deserves.
