Critics are taking aim at P.E.I.'s moratorium on shoreline development announced on Wednesday, saying the restrictions don't go far enough, and have no penalties or repercussions for those who break the rules.
Prince Edward Island s government is imposing a moratorium on new shoreline protection projects after a controversy over a large, rock breakwater built around a private, beachfront home.
A ministerial order to limit development within buffer zones on P.E.I. has been written up and signed by Environment Minister Steven Myers, a department spokesperson says. But no details are available.
While he declined to provide a formal interview, Kris Currie told CBC News he received 'verbal approval' from a planning official and he believes objections to the development on his family's land are politically motivated.
