IMO another example of how out of touch the Harper govt. is with fishing related issues on the west coast. The $15 million while helpful is nothing more than just trying to buy votes for watering down the Fisheries Act, Navigable Waters Act, Endangered Species Act the environmental assessment process, allowing the expansion of the net pen salmon feedlots (despite recommendations against it in the Cohen Commission Report) and dick all to protect and promote salmon. All they have done is to help clear the way for tar sands pipelines and oil tankers on the west coast.
