A letter on Minister of Fisheries letterhead saying: Statement from the Hon. Joanne Thompson Protecting fish and fish habitat is a priority for the Government of Canada. The proposed infilling at Dartmouth Cove would permanently destroy the marine life in the Cove and its supporting fish habitat. I am not convinced that the permanent destruction of the remaining marine life in this portion of the harbour, for private benefit, is required and justified in these particular circumstances. There is no approved project for the newly created land. There is no benefit to the community. It's infilling for the sake of infilling. To that end, I have determined the authorization sought is not justified in these circumstances and I have denied the Fisheries Act Authorization for the infill.
Sometimes you fight for a thing and it actually happens.
