Disbanding Seaterra is a good start. The next step is to lobby federal and provincial politicians to exempt the Capital Regional District from recent sewage-treatment laws that address a problem that simply does not exist here.

Then the hundreds of millions of dollars earmarked for unnecessary sewage treatment can be used to fund new public-transit initiatives — such as light rail — that will actually benefit the environment.
