can forget about public support
for anymore of its initiatives if it

Skeena MP Jim Fulton said last
week.

The hatchery has been operated |
by the Terrace Salmonid Enhan-

years. op eee
It received word June 12 that its.
$178,000 budget wasn’t being
renewed by federal fisheries,

That decision. came in a fax
from David Griggs, director of
the Salmonid Enhancement Pro-

On hearing of the development,
Fulton said he had met with fed-

bie and learned the cut had not

Crosbie was also ‘‘not amused’’
to find the sociely had only be

educational ones around,’’ Fulton
anticipated Crosbie would reverse

While the society waits for
Crosbie’s decision, it has been
told by Griggs it will now be
given $35,000 towards the cost of
