Among C4CA Chair Frank Cleggs concerns with the risk assessment report was the fact that it had been car- ried out by GL Noble Denton, a company hired to do the job by TransCanada. I cant comment on the credibility of the firm, but I put no value on a report from somebody that TransCanada hired, said Clegg. Am I surprised TransCanada could find somebody who could write a great report about them? Hell, no. Clegg once again called for an independent assess- ment to be conducted to see if the proposed plant is as safe as the report says it is. In the report, representatives from GL Noble Denton calculated that for people in the industrial areas closest to the 900-megawatt power plant, pro- Power plant opponents dont feel any safer C4CA gives thumbs down to TransCanada safety report See Critics page 8 Am I surprised TransCanada could find somebody who could write a great report about them?
