CAG Meeting from June 19 Still Not Posted to Moderndemocracy

While the CAG meeting on June 27 was not filmed, the June 19 meeting was, and Moderndemocracy has still not posted it.

There were many inappropriate comments made at that meeting, including eye-rolling and tittering when the chair read a note to the group from Robin Bassett.  Robin had explained that he would not be in town for the next two meetings, but attempted some input via email.  The facilitator, Jan Pezzaro remarked "Thank you for the input from a distance, Robin."  There have been many absences during the duration of these meetings, but none have been met with such malevolence.

Robin Bassett has asked at every meeting for actual deer numbers, and financial loss numbers from Saanich farmers.  He has been told time and again by Jeff Weightman and Jan Pezzaro that those numbers are not available and that the farmers do not have to submit their losses.  Yet discussion pushes ahead without this fundamental information....

With no clear idea that a deer issue even exists we the taxpayers must sit idly by as Jan Pezarro is flown in from the mainland every week to lead the CAG members to the conclusion that they were chosen for.  Are the 13 communities in the CRD really obligated to financially help out a handful of small businesses who want the deer killed?
