DFO cuts in a time of surplus

Check nottawa to get a quick take on cuts to the Department of Fisheries and Oceans announced on Monday by the Harper administration.

The fish minister, Loyola Hearn, complained for years about DFO underfunding while he was an opposition MP.

Once he makes it to the Privy Council, Loyola's move is to slash spending in a supposedly underfunded department.

Hmmm.

Guess re-allocation never entered his head.
