May praises quarry decision
Green Party leader Elizabeth May congratulated the federal government Dec. 20 for following the advice of a joint federal-provincial panel review and rejecting the proposed White’s Point quarry and marine terminal project in Digby Neck.

“I am immensely pleased that the federal government has followed Nova Scotia’s lead by flat out rejecting this project” said May.

“Over 200 oral and written submissions were considered by the panel and those who opposed this development can rest secure in the knowledge that the environment, the right whales who inhabit the Bay of Fundy and the local economy will be protected.”

The panel concluded in October that the project was an unacceptable environmental impact and recommended the proponent not be allowed to proceed with plans to build a quarry in Digby Neck.

“The Green Party calls on the provincial government to implement all of the Panel’s recommendations, especially for coastal management,” May added.
