In fact, because, of his reientiess questioning, Mr-. Moffatt bas often been accus- ed of trying to drive industry out of the Durham region. But, according to the M.P.P. bimself, botb premises are false. Speaking to tbe Bow- manvilie Rotary Club ,iast week, Mr. Moffatt stated tbat bis main objective in question- ing proposais of tbis type is to get ail the facts out into the open before deveiopmrent is ailowed to take place. Tbe trouble is, it's difficult to take a stand wben tbe issues are shrouded in secre- cy. As cîtizens of tbis region, ail of us will be affected by industrial growtb in one way or another, and it is Mr. Moffatt's contention tbat many of the problems we might face in tbe future could be resolved by encouraging openness and demanding answers now. 1Uniess this dialogue takes place, the well-being of the community may suffer. "Wben we develop oui- com- munity, we must do it witb an eye to ail consequences," Mr. Moffatt stated, empbasizing tbat companies sucb as Hydro and Eldorado must be ac- countable to tbe public. For example, we have a riglit to know bow Hydro intends to dispose -of tbe radioactive waste fromn the proposed Darlington station - - waste that remnains potentially dangerous for tbousands of years. We also bave a right f0 know bow the influx of tbousands of construction workers on the Hydro site wili affect oui- community. In the case of Eldorado Nuclear, specific plans sbould be out- lined regarding exactiy bow waste will be handied. In addition to oui- rigbf f0 get solid answers to ail of our questions, Mr. Moffatf be- lieves that wben an industry approaches the community witb a proposal, if is also witbin the community's rigbt f0 lay down appropriafe guide- Unes, so that its social and environmental life wili not be barmed. If we can manage f0 control the consequences of economic development from the start "then we'li leave our children and grandchildren with the kind of Canada we would have expecfed f0 be left to us," Mr. Moffatt said. Before giving the green liglit f0 an industry to go abead with its plans, bofh the company and public sbouid reacb an agreement 50 that the two parties will be able-to co-exist peacefuliy. Witb sucb a pact, ,Mi-. Moffatt expiained, the two will be able to survive in neigbborbood ferms as weli as in economic ferms. .Eariy Experiences It's-been nearly a year since Mr. Moffatt took office, and lie spent a few moments telling the Rotarians about bis ex- periences as Durham Easf's M.P.P. During bis initiai weeks in office,lie simply cidn't know where to begin. "I spent the first two months wandering around, not knowing whetber to spend my tîme in the riding or at Queen's Park." In due course the legisiature opened, and since that time, Mr-. Moffatt bas been a very busy man. The most lasting impression that Mr. Moffatt bas about bis firsf year in office is that his statements are under constant public scrutiny because of a watcbful press. "It's incredi- We ifare Case Ioads Lower Welfare caseloads, aci-oss the, province, bave dropped again by an average of 15.1 per cent since the first of the year. "This continuing de- crease is a positive indication thaf more reiaisfîc eligibility. basbeen effective," the Minis- fer of Communify and Social Services, James Taylor point- ed ouf. Based on the fen-cify report on caseloads, whicb repre- sents 60 per cent of the total provincial caseload, there were 34,972 people receiving General Welfare Assistance in June as compared Witb 35,697 in May this year and 37,233 in June 1975. "Caseloads bave declined significanfly since the fit-sf of this yeai- when tbe fen-cify report sbowed a caseioad of 41,185 people,"' Mi-. Taylor said. "In the employable category, 5,549 people lef t the welfare rolîs between January and June, a decrease of 34 per cent," the Minister empbasized. This bas resulfed in lower expendifures for Generai Welfare Assistance thapî bud- geted for hy most municipal- ities. "Many more people are finding empioyment on their own, especially during the summer season, aiong with addifional involvement from Canada Manpower and other alternatives. And tbis is f0 be encouraged in every -way," Mi-. Taylor concluded. boNi DE PEND ON A RAS191TI FOOT FOR LUCKý REMEMBER IT DIDN'T WORK FOR THE RASSIT.
