dth=3D"85" ali --000e0ce0d8622d489f04c1a20a15 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 First, this and other items should never have been included in a "Budget" Bill. Their placement there is a calculated slap in the face to Canadian parliamentary tradition. It is a statement that the Opposition has no useful role in government. Second, the Harper Government has made it perfectly clear that they plan to restrict and reduce the environmental impact process, reduce environmental research, reduce fisheries research, reduce climate change research, reduce Arctic climate monitoring, downsize Environment Canada, downsize Parks Canada within EC, downsize Fisheries & Oceans Canada, eliminate our commitments under Kyoto, increase the development of the oilsands, challenge the involvement of charitable environmental groups in environmental issues, and so forth. All of this has been public. One would have to make a conscious choice in order to believe that huge changes have not occurred and will not continue to occur, most likely at a faster pace.
