ers who wish to remove the foam from their

Approximately 40 people attended the -
meeting at the Lueknow•District Community
Centre on 'September 9, organized by Grant
Chisholm of Lucknow. Mr, Chisholm was
elected president of the Huron group and
Herb Storey is vice-president. Lynn Peck
volunteered to act as secretary and the group

will seek someone to serve as treasurer.
Guest speaker at the meeting wok- Bill
Bremner of. Mississauga, interim chairman
of HUFFI, who is a former distributor of the
insulation, He became involved with ,HUFFI
as a matter of conscience since be was
involved in recruiting dealers for the since
banned insulation.
Bremner told the meeting the companies
iselling and installing the insulation were
• misled by the goyernment and manufactur.
ers on the proper procedure to install the
product.
Bremner said they, should never have,
installed the f tit in brick houses or houses
with siding. The ould only be placed
in wood houses with etnOty wood studs.
Urea formaldehyde foam insulation was
approved by the government in 19/7 despite
the fad that many countries had banned use \
of the foam. Many homeowners took
advantage of the federal), funded Canadian
Home Insulation Program (CHIP) tel install
the insulation, but the government banned
its use last year. .
Bremner said he . attended a meeting
October .2, 1980 when members of.'the
insulation industry made a proposal to
government suggesting the industry be
responsible for ;any homeowner who finds
himseltroctini adversely to the foam. The
proposal said the honeowner would be
relieved of this aggravation and the industry
would be responsible.
A proposal to establish an insurance fund
• to protect people from dire failure of the
produet was also approved. at the meeting,
Bremner said the industries were to pay $30
per drum of resin to create this insurance
fund,
"Where did this 'money go?" asked
Bremner.
MPs Murray Cardiff and Dr. Gary Gutbin
were shown copies of the minutes of this
meeting and Cardiff said, following the
meeting, he would take a wily of the
minutes to Ottawa to learn what involvement
the government had in the creation ef an
insurance fund to protect homeowners from
the failure of the foam,
Homeowners attending the meeting asked
questions of Mr. Bremner, the members of
parliament, Harold B. Stevens, a consultant
applied chemistry and accredited corosion
specialist, Port Hope and Ed Harrison,
director of inspectors with the Huron County
Health Unit.
• When Cardiff spoke to the meeting he said
he hoped people were not becoming unduly
alarmed about the bad effects of the foam.
Cardiff said the government was doing
testing of homes in the county and that he
would prefer to wait until the results of the
tests were known before making a judge-
ment,
He said he wars surprised to find so many
of the people attending the meeting, had
insulated their homes because the CHIP
prograni had • been introduced by the
government. Cardiff said he believes people
should stop to consider whether an incentive
program is right for them before taking the
government up on their offer.
He used the example of the present
