The reason for their con - List principles to be used in Iiquid waste site cern is that the site in Waste Management Cor- poration appear before the Caucus. Dr. Chant who was appointed the Chairman by the Government when they established the Ontario Waste ManagemeptCorpora- tion, accepted the invitation to come before Caucus and he indicated that south and central Ontario appear to be areas to locate the site, par- ticularly, because of the transportation that will be required. Northern Ontario sites have been virtually excluded e although the Corporation has r not formally voted on the t matter. F The consultants engaged by the Ontario Waste Management Corporation 8 have been asked to study the 3 McLaren Report from the point of view of examining the criteria used by . ' 1 McLaren in the report. Ashfield Township in North Huron was one of the sites which was recommended in the McLaren Report as meeting most of the criteria. Taking the concerns of the people back to Toronto, the Member for Huron -Bruce, Murray Elston and I thought it would be wise if we had the chairman of the Ontario Jolly good greetings for a hearty,�, happy holiday from Santa, his fleetfooted team and us. We thank all our good friends and hope they will enjoy a Recycling is to be urged by private firms before the waste is sent to the site. Pre- treatment is being urged as well. Transportation is one ele- ment included in the deci- sion process and the project ' t will be developed at a cost of $60 million.

This would be used .by a producer who needed new credit to put in his crop or buy livestock or to cover some other operating expense. The Treasurer followed his announcement by ad- ding his assurance that the Government is committed to support progratn for the farmers before Christmas. and The Treasurer indicated that given the difficult times the om- farmers are facing, the sh- government will make to available 60 million dollars askra- in additional funding for this rm purpose. Opposition Members welcomed the $60 million an commitment but they questioned whether it would s s s ' be adquate to meet the needs of all those farmers who have been operating viable te- units but now find he themselves in difficulty ee because of the unexpected al high interest rates. It is the ho hope of the Action Com- gh mittee and the Opposition es Members that the Govern- ee ment will extend the funding ce if it finds that the $60 million se is inadaquate. rd Farmers should know by Christmas time the details of the program and the e e method in which they may a t apply. by Police bill d A bill to give police the in power to hand out 12 hour of road side licence suspen- e Bions and impound the cars n" of marginally impaired o drivers became law today. al The 12 hour suspension will apply to drivers whose blood e alcohol reading is at least .05 milligrams but less than the s .08 legal impairment level. g The original bill was ex - e tensively amended by the t Liberal MPP's during the t Justice Committee stage. s Some changes were r technical but others substan- tially reduced the power of police to pull over vehicles.
