When it comes to Protected Areas in Manitoba, it is another year of disappointment

As Manitoba Wildlands points out, the NDP were a disappointment again.

Each year Manitoba Wildlands performs a careful audit of Manitoba's government actions, or lack of actions, on protected areas. This year the NDP received a D.

As Manitoba Wildlands comments: "When it comes to protected areas, there are 100 government areas of interest in Manitoba waiting for review and protected status. Many are in Manitoba's boreal forest regions including 10,000,000 acres reviewed and approved by the Minerals Sector. No new protected areas were established in these regions in 2006. "
