troutfriend Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I would be a little worried about this as DFO have already started scaling back DFO Habitat staff dramatically across the country as of December. This shows that Canada is open for business and pesky environmental concerns that are deemed to hold up progress can easily be removed if there is a political will, but at what cost? Native fish populations (and their somewhat important habitat) are declining across the country (especially in the west slopes habitat which most on this forum have a fondness for). If the simple word “habitat” is removed from the act there will be greatly reduced ability for pre and post project protection. In some situations mitigation can be used, but in many larger systems functional mitigation does not occur fast enough to protect all fish populations. this came out in 2009: http://www.oag-bvg.gc.ca/internet/English/...01_e_32511.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NamasteMushroom Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 This is a good topic. It is also being discussed (albeit not enough) in the Fishing Related thread: http://flyfishcalgary.com/board/index.php?showtopic=17162 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
