First, I would like to thank
First, I would like to thank the non government speakers for their insightful presentations. Too bad the symposium was over booked, leaving little time for
discussion or networking. I for one will not attend another useless symposium created to justify useless government jobs. Shame on the Dept. of Agriculture and ACOA, and every other government employee who had anything to do with this fiasco. I'm sure you got paid for the day. I didn't. Not to mention the gifts some speakers received for doing their jobs. If anyone feels the same, and would like to discuss it further, please contact me at hotsaucybajan@yahoo.ca. or call 902-625-3847
