“If you’re not prepared to listen to the science, I don’t know what to say except, at the moment, 97 per cent of scientific papers that are relevant to the subject are saying – ‘this is what is happening,’” said organizer Mark Bigland-Pritchard.
There were also a number of local healthcare representatives as well as business and labour leaders.
