Keep Protection of Habitat in the Canada Fisheries Act! - MichaelAngelo - 03-25-2012 03:13 PM
Heard about this through Porter86's FB Page.
"A proposal to loosen federal fish habitat protection rules threatens Canada's water quality, fisheries and its international reputation, scientists warn.
In a letter sent Thursday to Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Fisheries and Oceans Minister Keith Ashfield, a group of 625 scientists urged the government to abandon changes to the Fisheries Act outlined in an internal government document leaked late last week."
