Subject: Our overview 1-page submission on your proposed WRMS- our modus operandi (for total efficiency, we respectfully ask that you click on underlined words in all of our email-submissions to immediately launch the relevant web pages since our submissions will be mostly repetitive of what we made dating as long back as 1991). We will not be filling that form on your web page as it is really not conducive to our science/engineering-based methodology!

 

We beg that you (and all recipients) study in detail the submissions that we had already made to the WRMS when your former Manager, Kate Moir MCIP, had invited us on August 14, 1997 to make the submissions. That is when the WRMS process had begun in reality!

 

Kindly consider the 2 submissions in that web page as our formal submission to your present WRMS consultative process since we have no desire in duplicating ourselves! We may make subsidiary submissions prior to your deadline of June 01, 2008 though.

 

When we made those submissions dated September 22, 1997 and July 06, 2001, we consulted not only our acclaimed and extensively published scientists/engineering professors in Canada and the USA, but also the general public (inclusive of affluent citizens) via several well advertised workshops that we organized all over HRM as well as the Hants and Lunenburg Counties!

 

Our team had also videotaped a selection among the thirty (30) public discussions that we spearheaded during the 1990’s to early 2000’s. We had invited your departmental staff to attend but none of them attended, alas!

 

During the last few months, we received several emails from your department inclusive of from the Hon. Mark Parent PhD and from your present Manager, David Briggins P.Geo., that we should make submissions to the WRMS for which we sincerely thank you all.

 

We are strongly hoping that this consultation sequence is not a mockery of our volunteer but international acclaimed science/engineering research, mostly at the applied level!

 

We had also made numerous written submissions to your department over the years dating as long back as the Minister’s Task Force on Clean Water in 1991 some of which could be seen in the relevant web pages!

 

With the best wishes to all staff and elected representatives as well as to all the Cc’d and Bcc’d recipients!
