Nor does Lawrence believe that Canada should return to its traditional traditional form of execution -- the gallows. gallows. "I don't believe in hanging," he said. "It is an abhorrent method. I think we should go for another, more humane form, such as lethal injection." injection." i The last execution in Canada took place in 1962. Back then, though, Lawrence was "an abolitionist". But the time he spent as Ontario's Attorney Attorney General eventually changed his mind. He was the minister responsible responsible for sorting out the situation after the uprising in the Kingston Penitentiary Penitentiary in 1971, during which several brutal murders of inmates by other prisoners took place. It is these offenders, offenders, Lawrence believes, who constitute constitute the real threat to society, a threat that can only be removed with their death. "There are a small number of hardcore hardcore to whom the taking of a life means nothing. These are people who From Page One have killed guards or other inmates, and don't feel a thing. I had inmates walk up to me after and say, 'what have I got to lose?" Overcrowding and often poorly- trained staff is usually a major cause for serious prison disputes, andi Lawrence does believe that an overhaul overhaul of the justice system is overdue. But the death penalty should still apply. "The death penalty is not retribution retribution or revenge or a deterrent, but a matter of prevention." During the course of the capital punishment debate, groups such as Amnesty International and individuals, individuals, like the parents of Toronto's Alison Alison Parrott a little girl murdered last year, argued against the death penalty. penalty. Lawrence thinks that although their intentions are good, they are wearing blinders. But for now, Lawrence says that he is glad the debate is over. It was long and tiring, but the subject will not resurface resurface again during this Parliament. "This should have been cleared up a long time ago," he says. "I'm glad it's all out of the way." "I'm not bitter. You win a few. You lose a few." by Carolyn Hepburn A proposed 43 lot estate estate residential development development in Newcastle Village Village is not to be.

Another dairy farm is also located located approximately 273 metres from the site. Although Although the guidelines require require a 260 metre separation separation distance, "it would not seem to make good planning to approve approve the 43 lot develop- ment...and as a result, limit any expansion of the existing argicultural use", said the regional planning committee report report on the application.

Another matter raised by councillors councillors was the possibility of imposing a start-up and shut-down time for construction construction activities. Councillor Marie Hubbard couldn't agree with that proposal. "The companies have to take advantage advantage of the time," she said. "The summer time is short and the hours are long," she added.

According to Mr. Zurba, he has also had the well filled fourteen times since the disturbances disturbances began. "It is hard to take a bath, it's hard to flush the toilet," Mr. Zurba told councillors. "I can't drink the water for at least three days after the well has been filled because the water is murky," he added. Mr. Zurba's problems began with the installation installation of a watermain to an area development.
