Line Working Committee. A Chairman, Tony Mc - Quail, R. R. # 1, Lucknow, Ontario, and Secretary, Bill Jongejan, R. R. # 2, Goderich, Ontario, were elected at a meeting held June 15, 1981. • We wish to point out that the Public Participation procedures outlined in the June 8, 1981, Background infor- mation on the South Western Ontario • Working groups do not conform to the Porter Commission's recommenda- tions, specifically recommendation 6.3 in several crucial areas: (a) The most affected citizens seem least rePresented. (b) The chairman of the working groups are being selected by Ontario Hydro and not by the working groups. (c) The procedures, agendas, etc, have ' all been prepared by Ontario. Hydro, without citizen participation or ap- • proval. We find ,the current proposal • unacceptable, and believe the proced- ure should be revised as to conform with The Porter Comtnission's recom- • mendations as to these proceedings..

After a long delay in its release • it has been scheduled in the busiest time in the • farm calendar. It will also conflict with holiday time of most other organiza- tions representing the business sector. • To allow meaningful public involvement the public participation process must be rescheduled to late fall and •winter 1981. • We are concerned, that so little • effort has been made to involve local I citizens. • We, as a committee, demand to participate in the public participation • process and wish to appoint a repres- entatiye to the appropriate citizens committee when they are formed. 2 Please give these concerns your •immediate attention.. • Lecher Sesibell, Wolasedsy• hos 24, •111111-4 7 Johostonlires, Limitul] Phone Phone 'VVardsville 6934383 Komoka 471-3059 Dungannon 529-7947 Washed 1Vlaterlals--Crushed Stone T .
