I was interested to see Nova Scotia's Finance Minister, Michael Baker, =
expounding on how important it is to protect our coastline. (CTV News, =
February 22).  Mr. Baker was commenting on the government's plan to buy =
up some parcels of coastal land to protect it from development..  Here's =
what Mr. Baker had to say about the importance of  undeveloped coastline =
for tourists: "These people come here, they visit, they spend money, =
they support our communities, and they want to see traditional Nova =
Scotia when they are here, and that is exactly what we are protecting."  =
I hope he remembers that thought when cabinet considers whether or not =
to allow a developer to blow up a huge section of Digby Neck, =
overlooking the Bay of Fundy, to create a quarry.  I'm sure all the =
whale watchers will have fond memories of Nova Scotia if our government =
allows this sensitive ecosystem to be destroyed to build highways in New =
Jersey.
