PAGE 8, WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 30, 1980, WIIITBY FREE PRESS Posma g ets m to the act over ACT Another candidate in the February 18 general election has'gotten into the act over ACT (Ajax Citizens Together) and the proposed conversion of the Duffin's Creek Water Pollution Con- trol Plant to treat liquid in- dustrial waste. Roif Posma, the Liber- tarian candidate stated that, "The concerns of the residents who must live near such a plant are valid con- cerns. Various federal can- didates have commented on the proposed plant and comments have ranged from 'Ibeyond the scope of federal jurisdiction' to likewarm committment5 of financial, help for ACT to come out of the Durham Regional coffers or from a certain constitueflcy association. " Posma said that he does not, believe the provincial goverrnnt should be in the liquid waste treatment business. "lIt is a well known fact that when goverroment is in- volved in business it is vÎr- tually impossible to pinpoint liability," Posma said. "On the other hand, business codes dictate that private firms are hiable for misrepresentation or any in- fringement on the in- dividual. " However, Posma did not say that a privatie plant should be at the location. "This is not to say that a privately run plant should be at this location any more than a government run plant. It merely suggests that a private plant would be safer," he said adding, "0f also have more incentive than government to locate strategically because of the lhability potential." He also went on to say that his party's platform is two- fold on this issue. "Private industry would find a more suitable location for waste treatment plant than the governument proposed site," he said ad- ding that "governent, no niatter at which tier, has no business allocating tax nioney for a project which jnost tax payers in the general area appear to op- pose vehemnently. " Posma went on to say, however, that "Libertarians also believe that industrial waste is a fact of life and that it must be treated in a responsible manner." * 'Ubertarlans tavor the strict enforcement f laws and heavy penalties for unorthodox dumping f al wastes. We behieve that proper scientific waste treatment and disposal is too important to be handled by government, and that safe handling of ahl industrial waste can only come about through the free market system devoid f gover- onment regulation and inter- veniorism." Posma said that he would like to see a referendum on the issue and that members of ACT should gather signatures to petition such a referendum. "Libertarians, along with many citizens do not share the view that civil servants always know what is best for Canadians," he said. Social Planning Council....
