He also brushed aside a plea from the province's aboriginal chiefs to halt approval of new projects.6 G4 o9 U, K; J3 |

Stelmach, who famously said he doesn't believe in "touching the brake" on development, dismissed as preliminary a call for an immediate suspension of government land-lease sales in three massive environmentally sensitive swaths of northern Alberta.0 d. q% `" h: E9 J. s

Is he completely deaf/dumb/blind? I think the majority of Albertans realize that something needs to be done, whatever that something may be. I don't understand how Stelmach feels it is O.K. to be so careless. |
