government Patricia Georgetown I dont think theyve been too bad Personally I believe they need more time given more of a chance to show what they can do Fred Acton Im not really happy with what theyve done so far especially with the deficit If I ran my house like that Id be in real trouble Henry Georgetown Im sure they can do better than they have so far They should have spent more towards getting rid of the deficit and not so much as they did towards welfare Streamlining of program should help environment Proposed changes by the pro vincial government to streamline the Environmental Assessment Program is a step in the right direction but more changes are needed said Credit Valley Con servation Authority General Manager Vicki Barron Friday The provinces Environmental Assessment Program consists of legislation that is meant to pre vent environmentally unfriendly type projects from going ahead The proposed changes are meant to process projects more effectively and efficiently According to the CVCA report on the changes the authority ac ting as a commenting agency as part of an environmental assess on a project affecting the Credit River would be required to devote more staff time than it currently does when commenting on projects under an environmen tal assessment In order to fulfill this require ment the CVCA would need an in crease in the amount of its pro vincial transfer payments said Ms Barron As well full endorsement of the changes would also depend on the sector being subjected to the Environmental Assessment Program The program as is primarily focuses on public projects However Ms Barron said its naive to think only public pro jects require environmental screening Contacted Friday Halton Hills Planner Prasard said the Town supports the changes ex as with the it wants sector projects to be sub jected to the Environmental Assessment Program Provincial iron mental Planner Peter agreed the program primarily applies to public projects However he did explain that if a proposed private project would at some future date become the responsible of a public agency then the project would have to be considered under the Environmental Assess ment Program He acknowledged not all public agencies are aware of this and the province needs to do a better job at relaying the message to public agencies Mr Sommers also went on to say Environment Minister Ruth
