He Says It's Not A Complete Ban On Boating

The City of Saint John would like to see a complete ban of all motorized boating in the Loch Lommond watershed which supplies most of the city's drinking water. Environment Minister Margaret Ann Blaney says the province will not extend exemptions that allow certain people to boat in the area when they expire next November.


The Conservation Council's David Thompson tells CHSJ News he doesn't think it's a complete ban.


He says the government will go ahead with a plan to allow boats with motors under 10 horsepower on the water in the watershed.
Thompson says he thinks their should be a complete ban on all boating especially where it concerns such a precious resource like drinking water.
