Submission:
Dear Premier Clark,
Thank you for having the courage to release the provincial salmon farm disease records. Unfortunately, withholding this critical information until now has harmed the people of the province of BC who depend on salmon, for food, culture, sport, tourism, as well as the health of our rivers and wildlife. I call upon you and your cabinet ministers to use your influence to ensure the health of our wild salmon for generations to come. It is the duty of your government and the DFO to take the appropriate actions to make every effort to restore wild salmon to thriving numbers, as in the fall of 2010. The appropriate actions, getting fish farms out of the ocean, will be the right decision for our future.
Thank you,
