Hello Louisette,  I did not have a phone number to reach you at. I would have preferred to call you to discuss our position regarding the site in question.  As a follow to your email to our minister’s office – this message is to confirm that Fisheries and Oceans Canada will not be taking any action regarding this site.  The impacted body of water is not considered to contribute to a commercial, recreational, aboriginal fishery and is therefore not under the jurisdiction of the Fisheries Act.  Pls take the opportunity to visit our website http://www.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/pnw-ppe/index-eng.html for a description of our legislation and our mandate.  If you have any questions regarding this statement – pls feel free to give me a call.   Thank you  Rick Kiriluk
