Heard on the radio that Harper announced a Fraser River Sockeye inquiry.
Can they really learn anything valuable from this? If they can then ok.
With so many cut backs to other things...won't this be a waste of taxpayer money....our money.

Yes, a judicial inquiry is expensive. However, also expensive not only economically but also environmentally is a disappearing salmon stock. Personally, I don't expect concrete answers from this process as finding reasons for disappearing fish stocks is a very complicated process. It is time though for DFO officials and hopefully some BC MLA's to be forced to testify UNDER OATH. This could be the most valuable part of the process.

It's a good start, but I think we'll have to wait until we find out the whole scope of the inquiry first.

Absolutely

The sad part of it all though may be for the Sockeye salmon it could be too little, too late. After all how many bad runs in a row have we had now. Fisheries biologists have warned the bureaucrats that there is a minimum number of sockeye needed to insure a good carryover. Hopefully a concrete plan is put in place and people follow through on them to ensure the survival of the Sockeye for future generations.
