all part on the torys war on science Stephen Pushak Furthermore, the government is falsely claiming that vital content is being retained by extensively digitizing material from nine regional libraries that the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) whittled down to two. The Department has claimed that all useful information from the closed libraries is available in digital form. This is simply not true. Much of the material is lost forever, reports one DFO scientist who requested not to be named. That picture of a taxpayer-funded treasure trove of information laid waste emerges from interviews by The Tyee with half a dozen prominent scientists, many of whom asked to remain anonymous for fear that their funding or other government support could be hurt if their names were connected with the concerns they were eager to share.
