Sustained cash flow?
Or: Sustainable development?
Do Canadians have an example of sustainable development?
Sure! Truly find out about the aquaculture industry in Canada, East & West Coast, not fish farming, but shellfish such as oysters, mussels, scallops ect! It's a simple equation no matter the issues of who get the mighty $. Do we support a sustainable food chain with the least amount of degration to the enviroments? Does a fisher or farmer pay in excess at the gate of sale? Are we talking about acceptable practices that include the whole family or just the corprate tourist who can buy a fillet stamped "organic". Jamaican children are still eating 'salted cod fish' that never existed in Jamaica before or after slavery. It's a national dish; time to ask who get's to eat and does the Jamaican Family have a say? Jamaican farmers, fisherman & thier children should be at the table when funds are allocated. Then those, thereafter, who may gain from the leftovers!

Just as an FYI, I emailed the PR person for this project about a week ago asking for an update but have heard nothing back. When I do I will pass the information on to you.
So why do we have Canadians advising who do not seem to have a clue about sustainable development? Or do they?
Let us know. Time for joking done!
When the salted cod inspector comes to sort the cod fish in Newfoundland, the lowest grade is called...West Indian.
