Nitrates commission named

P.E.I. has announced the members of the commission on nitrates in groundwater.

Chair Armand Desroches will be joined by four other cabinet-appointed members: Chief Darlene Bernard of the Lennox Island First Nation, retired research scientist John MacLeod, chief health officer Dr. Heather Morrison, and Stewart Affleck, a retired potato producer from Bedeque.

The commission will look at the reasons surrounding the province's high nitrate levels and come up with a strategy to deal with the problem. Islanders will be asked to make written submissions and presentations to the commission.
