Ladies and Gents,
"On behalf of Ken Crutchfield (Director of Fisheries Management), please note that the Round Table meeting for October 17th, 2009, has been suspended.
Please see Ken's explanation below:
The October 17th meeting of the Alberta Fisheries Management Government of Alberta provincial Round Table is suspended pending identification of less costly workable alternatives. Public consultation is an integral component in the design and delivery of a progressive fisheries management program. To that end alternatives are being implemented to maintain this dialogue. As previously announced, Area offices throughout the province are being encouraged to arrange an expansion of what have typically been meetings to discuss proposed regulation changes. Managers are being requested to include any element of the fisheries management program that is currently active and would benefit from public input.
I encourage you to continue to monitor the Alberta Fisheries Round Table Web site for any new information or updates

Thank you for your understanding, we appreciate your support and assistance during this transition period".
