So all the good folks ( and I mean everyone, for and against) that took the time to answer the surveys and participate in the input process, in good faith, had their time wasted and trust stomped on again. All our input is not being considered valid.
The Plan consult and development is as advertised to continue through to the end of 2019. AEP staff did say that at the end of February or at any time for that matter, the Minister can do an Order in Council to put any part or the entire plan in place. |
Maybe some of you need to read this again. Cal is being totally honest and knows more than probably 98% of members here what is and has been happening when it goes to closures of our public lands.
