Heritage Bill 2016: Discussion
1:30 pm
Mr. Gerry Gunning:
For better hedgerow management and the environment, one should not have this massive rush. Much work is done in rural areas, including harvesting, silage cutting, etc. By reducing the window, to a degree, one is actually making the problem worse. The window is too narrow. We have pointed to safety concerns, but I know that Senator Marie-Louise O'Donnell does not believe it is an issue.
