The Harper Government has decided the oceans can bloody well look after themselves and has reduced the Department of Fisheries and Oceans contaminants monitoring program to a total of five (5) scientists scattered across the country.

The end result is the Harper Government will have essentially no capability to monitor marine contamination and will instead rely on industry-sponsored and academic studies for its information.
