Fisheries and science minister Siddon faces scrutiny
The discussion centers on Siddons past cutbacks and their impact on fisheries policy. He defends his new role promising growth and added value in the fishing industry while steering away from the tuna scandal. He has a background as an engineer and professor before entering politics. A Council update discusses Water and Sewer Study and fire safety, noting the Chetwynd reservoir undersized for firefighting capacity and risks in Industrial Park and surrounding areas. Kindergarten bears talk rounds out the report.
