Natural Resources Minister Minister Bud Wildman met Thursday with negotiations for the management committee committee to explain MNR's concerns about the cost to taxpayers of the current spraying program and the need for private landowners to assume a greater share of the costs. "Unless the nee committee and MNlt can come to an agreement and accept our offer, the spraying spraying program with the committee committee is in jeopardy," Mr. Wildman said. "MNR will develop a spray program for individual municipalities at our proposed rates to ensure that a spraying program can continue." In the meeting, Mr. Wildman Wildman also indicated to the committee that MNR's cur* rent proposal agreement remains remains on the table. MNR's cost-sharing proposals were developed in light of the serious serious fiscal climate affecting the Ontario Government.
