Summary:
The hearings on ISAv should be live streamed.

Submission:
I support the request for live-streaming of the Cohen Commission hearings on disease testing. I agree with Alexandra Morton that “this a public inquiry into a public resource, we are paying for the court time, the lawyers, the judge and the salaries of some of the people on the stand. It is open to the public who can afford to make the trip, so why can’t everyone listen in as they did earlier this year?” This issue affects all of us in BC, not just those who live in Vancouver.
It is long overdue that the cold light of day be shone on both government and the corporations in connection with this industry. Where is the transparency surrounding the people’s ocean resources?
