the HERALD Community Tuesday Decembers I Georgetown residents get the big boot from legislature By PAULINE JOHNSON Thomson News Service TORONTO Demonstrators waving black flags stood in the Ontario Legislature Wednesday shouting that the government had lied to them over allowing gar bage dumps on the Niagara Escarpment Three members of the group Furiously Opposed to Acton Dumping were ejected from the building for their outburst during Question Period Security guards told them that attempts to reenter the premises would result in trespass charges Photographs of the three were also taken by security personnel member Debbie Van Be Valk of Georgetown told reporters they staged the demonstration because they are ticked off the government has flipflopped on its opposition to a proposal to put garbage in a quarry on the escarpment at Ac ton We re infuriated because numoer one it s just a dumb idea to put garbage a limestone quarry and number two this is a UNESCO designated Biosphere Reserve along the lines of the Galhpigos Islands she said It s an insane proposal This government in only knew too well what an insane idea it was and yet now they re telling us there a process to be followed by allowing an en vironmental assessment into the proposal by Reclamation Systems she said What happened to a common sense Van asked saying it will cost taxpayers millions of dollars to hold the hearing This government has ab zero money to be throw around Let save all of the time and let save the money that they re going to spend on lawyers and consultants It s not necessary this 15 a dumb idea Van De said Furthermore she said the government is sending out con tradictory messages on trie transportation of garbage It won allow garbage from the Greater Toronto Area to be ship ped outside such as to Kirkland Lake yet it appears willing to let RSI ship garbage from anywhere in the province to Halton Region RSI has applied for a garbage to ship garbage anywhere in On The proposal has been sub mitted to the government for comment by ministries with an interest It is now in a 60day period for public comment and could likely go before a hearing during a hearing during Environment Minister Ruth Gner said she has not changed her personal position that gar dumps on the escarpment are not a good idea As a general principle I don think the Niagara Escarpment is a good place for a landfill site But she said One has general opinions about all sorts of things One has as a minister the responsibility to administer legislation and make sure that those decisions are made in as en vironmental a way as possible and in a way with as much in a possible and that in both sides putting their opinions before a legally con stituted environmental assess ment board Gner said As I said to this group on ump teen occasions if the shoe was on the other foot they want a minister any kind of minister acting in that kind of an arbitrary way of stopping a hearing she said OFFICE MAGIC FOR ALL
