Congratulations to the people who bring us TVOntaio. Waste Disposai Mr. Gordon Milis (Durham East): 1 have two questions I'd like to ask but l'in going ta have ta makec do with one. It's for the Minîster of the Enivironiient. In my riding of Durham East I have a community with over 1,000' senior citizens who live quite close ta the lake. These constituents of mine are very concerned about the proposal ta build a waste transfer and pracessing site in the direct area whiere they live. They're very upset and they're very worried. M Nadam Minister,, what assurance can you give the residents of Wilmot Creek of the propos.aI ta buiid this waste transfer and processing site? They need some assurance. Hon. Rutht A. Grier (Minister of the Environment and Minister Responsible for the Greater Toronto Area>: I'm wel aware of the concernis of the many residents of Wilmot Creek about the proposai ta buiid a transfeýr the area's volunteer firefighiters. Randy Reinert, of the Fire Department, explained that the program is intended to educate children on the proper procedlure for exiting a burning building. The children are taughit'to crawl low through the smoke towards the firefighter and then crawl back with him. The fire-fighiter is dressed in full turn-au',t gear to acquaint the child with the look of a firefighlter in a real-life situation. The reason behind the exercise is to allow children to learu that it is okay to go ta the firefighter. In a similar, real-life situation, àt is common for a child to hide. station for the pracessing and transfer of liquid industrial and hazardous wastes. The question that has been asked by many of them is, "Will there be a hearing before this facility is approved?" I'm glad to able to tell the member that it is the policy of the Ministry of the Envirou-ment that when liquid industrial waste is involved, a hearing wiil bc heid unless. justification is provided and argument is presented that there oughit not to be a hearing. We have currently had a request from the, Town of Newcastle for a hearing. We have asked for comments from the regional municipality of Durham and we have not yet received those. When those are received, then.the dîrector of the waste branch wili be making a decision. Mr. Milîs-: Madami Minister, I thank you for that clarification, but when 1 go to that meeting tonight and that community centre is packed wîth 1,000 people, the burning question is "Wheni can we expect this hearing?" Have you any idea? Can you help me? Hon. Mrs. Grier: l'Il be able ta ask the director to miake a decision with respect to that just as soon as We get the comments from the regional munîcipality of Durham. But it is certainly not our practice to proceed, having asked the municipaiity for comiments, without receiving thicm, and 1 hope they will be sent to us as quickly as possible so the unccrtainty can bc relieved. move to the 1The referendum discussions move to the classrooms in schools with the Northumnberland and Newcastle Board of Education.
