Dear Paul,
Here are excerpts from our policies and election platform as seen on our
web site. The NSPP has opted to prioritize our environmental problems,
starting with the Sydney Tar Ponds. As you can see, we have made the
environment one of four of our election planks. The others are
investment in people, having the financial means to do it, and a new
approach to political work. With respect to use of public transit, that
is not now at the top of our list. However, the Party uses a priority
setting mechanism to rank environmental and other issues that you may be
interested in.
Policy 5.2.1 Environmental protection
The NSPP believes that the environment is the envelope in which all of
us must live. If the
envelope is torn or spoiled, it cannot support people. For this reason,
the NSPP would
place the highest priority on protection of the environment.
Policy 5.2.2 Sustainable development
The NSPP also believes that it is possible to mitigate the risk of
environmental damage,
preserve the environment and derive economic benefit from the careful
exploitation of the
Province’s natural resources. The NSPP would take a long term approach
on all
environmental issues.
Policy 5.2.3
Ensuring that policies around environmental protection and sustainable
development do not work to exclude the participation of independent
business people
ENVIRONMENTAL PLATFORM FOR 1999 ELECTION:
the NSPP believes in taking appropriate
action to resolve the
health and safety issues arising from the
Sydney Tar Ponds;
we simply have to deal directly with the
issue
we have concerns about the sustainability of
forests in the
Province; we believe that public
consultation on the future of
the forestry industry in the Province is
essential
the NSPP also has concerns regarding methods
of fishing in
the Province and licensing; we believe that
public
consultation on the fisheries is essential
the NSPP also wishes to encourage small
business in
forestry, fishing and farming; we do not
believe that one or
two fish plants should control the whole
industry, for
example; there is also a place for small
business to get
involved in value added tree species
replanting
we need a long term vision for the
management of our
forests, fisheries, farms and land use
