The Harper government has fired thousands of scientists, and has destroyed countless irreplaceable scientific reports and publications in the process of terminating a number of government-owned scientific libraries. This is in keeping with the Harper government's gutting of environmental assessment legislation and curtailing the powers of the Fisheries Branch of Environment Canada, as well as its failure to act on Climate Change, and its incessant lobbying in favor of tar sands developments in western Canada and the associated pipelines projects.
