Do their duty

In law, there is a concept called a fiduciary duty. In a fiduciary relationship, good conscience requires the fiduciary to act at all times in the best interests of the person(s) who have placed their trust and confidence in them.

In law, there is a concept called a fiduciary duty. In a fiduciary relationship, good conscience requires the fiduciary to act at all times in the best interests of the person(s) who have placed their trust and confidence in them.

The city council of Prince George, Northern Health, and the Ministry of the Environment have a fiduciary responsibility to protect the health and well-being of its citizens.

To allow the placement of a massive petrochemical plant co-located with up to three plastics plants in the Willow Cale area just two kilometres from lower College Heights, in my opinion, would breach this fiduciary duty of care.

To jeopardize the health of 78,000 persons for 700 jobs is neither just nor equitable.
