All these important safeguards and protections took so much time and consideration to put in place- it is unbelievable to think that one unconcerned, uninformed person could just negate all of it in one blow, and it should not be allowed to happen in a supposedly democratic province/country. We must fight to our right for a clean and safe place to live, as well as for all those living things who cannot speak. The fact that the Bill would not allow public consultation or recourse is truly frightening.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Lori S.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b>From:</b> All <all-bounces@gren.ca> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Gregory C.
