His study says the province is headed for environmental chaos because it hasn't properly funded or staffed two key government departments: the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) and the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR).
"Our present course," Miller said, "puts our ecosystems, our biodiversity, our health and parts of our economy at serious risk of deterioration and catastrophic events.
