Foundation Questions Use Of Budget Bill


The Quetico Foundation is accusing the provincial government of trying to circumvent the process with proposed amendments to legislation affecting the environment.

The province has included nine such amendments within the provincial budget.

The Foundation's Glenda McLachlan calls it odd the budget bill  is being used for this purpose as it doesn't give the public an opportunity to comment.

McLachlan says usually legislative amendments affecting the environment got through the Environment Bill of Rights registry.
