A Visit by Our MP

On Thursday, the students were lucky to have a visit from our MP, Honourable Minister Jonathon Wilkinson.  He is also the Minister of Fisheries, Oceans, and the Canadian Coast Guard.  He was impressed by the students' knowledge of Parliament and their informed questions, concerns, and suggestions regarding the population decline of the resident orcas and the effect the Trans Mountain Pipeline will have on animals living in coastal waters.  Dayton asked if Jonathon (as he wished to be addressed) would be fired if the orcas die off.  He laughed, then said, "Probably."
