Newly minted Conservative MHA Keith Hutchings - he was just a provincial lobbyist for the Association of Seafood Producers - ending 2007-01-12. He was lobbying on behalf of these employers to the Workplace Health and Safety Commission. Do voters know this? Does Trish Dodd and the Injured Workers Association know this?
When on with Randy Simms - Simms asked tell us a bit about yourself - he did not say -I am or was just a paid lobbyist for the Association of Seafood Producers. In that wonderful fishing district of our province - and Keith who claimed that the fisheries collapse is tough but you know aquaculture is the way of the future. Gee - where did he get that theory from?
Does the fact that he lobbied for the Seafood Producers Association have any bearing on his opinions round the caucus table?
Why not ask people we elect or who want to be elected - who were they working for. Why not ask those people we pay?
You see the red-herring of a blogger not identifying who they work for - is just that - raise the invalid - to hide the valid.
You see Keith worked for Loyola Sullivan when he was PC leader - did he ever work for the WHSC? Loyola - whose brothers are involved with Seafood Producers!
I guess Keith had great contacts within government.
Once again - I ask - what are the MHA's for or the MP's - get a lobbyist.
Maybe the Independent and Ryan Cleary could do some research on what a lobbyist is - who they work for - how much they are paid - and what they are lobbying for.
