J-D Irving sending an e-mail to City Hall objecting to the wording that was used in a report on harbour cleanup.
The report stated there was a reluctance on the part of some to resolve property needs for the project to be done by the end of 2012. Deputy Mayor Stephen Chase says J-D-I believes it was unfairly singled out and he finds it disturbing.
The head of Municipal Operations Paul Groody is taking a conciliatory approach, apologising if anyone took offense at the wording.
Common Councillor Peter McGuire is quick to defend the report saying there is no need to apologise because harbour cleanup is for the citizens and not the corporations.
