| 2543 | Steve | Ashdown | As the son of a former Conservation Officer, in the Sault Ste. Marie district, I am appaled to think that the work he and his co-workers did and try to continue to do is for nothing!! These hard working people deserve to be equipped properly to do the job the Province has hired them to do. Sharing 1 truck with a forestry tech, $250.00/month for gas, overtime not paid?? Does the Province think that poachers work 8-4, and within walking distance of the vehicle yard??
SHAME |
