CNLOPB reacts to criticism of it's public consultations




The Central Newfoundland Morning Show from CBC Radio Nfld. and Labrador (Highlights) show

Summary: Yesterday on our show, we heard from Marilyn Clark. She's a member of the Save our Seas and Shores Action Committee, which represents fishermen, environmentalists and native groups in five provinces. The group is expressing concern about the Canada Newfoundland and Labrador Offshore Petroleum Board's strategic environmental assessment process. That's the study of the possibility of oil development in the Gulf of St.Lawrence. The process is supposed to include public consultation, but Marilyn Clark says it's not working out that way. Max Ruelokke is the chair of the CNLOPB.
