Dragged into Court

A small NGO in Halifax is taking the Canadian government to court. The Ecology Action Centre (EAC) is accusing the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) of violating its own legislation to protect fish habitat.

The case is expected to come before a judge this summer. - by Hillary Lindsay -
