Ministers are first of all “NOT “:experts, so this idea of using their discretion when deciding if a questionable project may proceed, it’s absolutely inane. Premier King, Minister Myers and Compton are most decidedly not experts on shore line erosion. For any one of them to tell the public that Point Deroche granite armouring blocking the beach, is merely grandfathering. I wonder what they think we islanders are???stupid! Do they really believe they can say anything and we will accept it as fact. I have great respect for Brad Trivers for speaking out about erosion along our shore lines. While he was careful with his words, he was clearly referring to Deroche Point along with other issues. He noted the laws in place and suggested they should be followed and strengthened. He didn’t come out and say it, so will say it for him. King and his gang of grandfathering experts need to think again, we will not stand for their claimed discretionary powers.
God Bless and keep reading.
