DON CHARD, MLA, DARTMOUTH SOUTH

November 26, 1998

Dear friends of the environment:

The environmental community in Nova Scotia has been anxiously awaiting the passage of Bill 24, the Wilderness Areas Protection Act, which is now before the House.  The bill has passed second reading and is currently before the Law Amendments Committee.  The Liberals and Tories are pushing hard to end this sitting as soon as possible, and I am concerned that the bill may not advance through law amendments into third reading.

I urge you to contact the Minister of the Environment and/or the Premier to indicate that you want to see this legislation passed this Fall.  The more pressure that can be brought to bear in this matter, the better.  

To contact the Premier:			
Hon. Russell MacLellan, Q.C.            
Premier
Tel: 424-6600 or 1-800-267-1993
FAX: 424-7648
E-mail: premier@gov.ns.ca

To contact the Minister of the Environment
Hon. Don Downe
Minister of the Environment
Tel: 424-5720
FAX: 424-0635

Thank you for your concern.  If you have any questions, please donąt hesitate to contact me at 424-5783 or FAX 424-0504.

Sincerely,


Don Chard, MLA 
NDP Critic for the Environment
