Stan Struthers and Gary Doer

Hon. Gary Doer, Premier of Manitoba, and Hon. Stan Struthers, Minister of Conservation,

The east side of Lake Winnipeg is an immense unbroken boreal forest rich with rushing rivers, abundant wildlife, and Aboriginal culture. These wild lands have enormous global significance for oxygen production and climate regulation. First Nations on both sides of the Manitoba-Ontario border have joined their traditional territories in a nomination for a World Heritage Site almost 1.5 times the size of Vancouver Island. I commend your government for backing this nomination but am concerned about proposed forest-destructive industrial developments that may disrupt planning. Therefore:

Opinion

In My Opinion I support providing interim protection for the nominated area on the east side of Lake Winnipeg, as requested by the First Nations, from industrial activities such as logging, mining, and hydro. This confirmation of your support will allow for conservation and community planning to be done with confidence.

Mr. Premier and Minister Struthers, please register my opinion and let me know where the Manitoba government stands on this issue.
