Pressure grows in P.E.I. for public inquiry into Fiona preparations and response
Pauline Howard, a volunteer with the P.E.I. Food Exchange — a group that assists Islanders in need of food — said in an interview today that she favours the inquiry because of the need for accountability.She says an internal review isn’t sufficient to probe how Maritime Electric and the government handled the disaster, which she fears will lead to food insecurity through the fall and winter.
Bevan-Baker says full public inquiries in P.E.I. are rare, but he adds that the risk of recurring climate emergencies means that lessons must be learned and acted upon before a storm similar to Fiona arrives again.
