Quotable Submissions

"I simply cannot see how anyone could reach such a conclusion about wetlands from the paltry amount of data provided.  It is not okay for a proponent to seek environmental approvals now, without having completed the necessary work, under the promise that it will be done at a later date, after approvals are already received.  That’s not how environmental assessments should work.”

- Chris Miller, Ph.D., Executive Director-, Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society, NS Chapter
