Controversial changes to Fisheries Act guided by industry demands
by Gloria Galloway, The Globe & Mail, Aug 5, 2013
The federal Conservative government consulted with both environmental
organizations and industry associations before making controversial
changes to the Fisheries Act last year, but listened primarily to
industry.
When a section of one of the government’s massive
2012 omnibus budget bills limited the scope of the legislation governing
the protection of fish and their habitats, some ecologists said it was
the biggest setback to conservation law in more than 50 years.
