There will be individual booths/tables where you have six hours to visit and talk to individuals.

It seems like people have a lot to say on these forums. I’ve created a channel for you all to voice your opinions to just about every group you can think of under one roof, take advantage of it.

It's obvious that board members can be a fairly skeptical lot.

My advice...take a chill pill. Be patient.  The Information Note that Rod posted states that consultation will happen in 2020. We are only 6 weeks into the new year.

The IN was just a heads up. If they started consultation with no heads up, people would be up in arms "Where did this come from?" "Why weren't we advised?"  The ministry is laddering their communications and consultation, and the IN is just the first step in that.

The IN also gave the email address of the biologist and it suggested that interested parties can request further information from him. If you are chomping at the bit to make your voice heard, then maybe Mr. Schwindt can give you more details about the planned consultation process. IMHO, it shows a certain amount of transparency to post the email address of the biologist responsible for the file.

Yep. :)

Again my recommendation to all who are concerned about this to make an effort to stop by the event on March 14th so you can get more information directly from Colin and also provide your feedbacks. While there, you'll also be able to talk to both COs and DFO officers if you have concerns on compliance....
