Strong Turnout For Protest On Closure Of ELA
By Mike Ebbeling - June 15th, 2012 - 9:08am
About 90-people converged on Kenora MP Greg Rickford's Dryden office yesterday in a noisy protest.
They were out to protest Bill C-38, which passed in the House of Commons overnight.
Those in attendance were most upset about cuts to environmental programs and the closure of the Experimental Lakes area west of Dryden.
Dale MacKenzie says the Federal Government is more like a dictatorship and Rickford should be held accountable.
MacKenzie says the ELA is a world class research facility and says the Feds can afford the $600,000s to keep the facility running.
MacKenzie says the way Bill C-38 was handled was "un-democratic" and that voters are getting cranky.
Rickford was in Ottawa.
