Jack's Jottings Jack Riddell MPP Huron From Queen's Park Premier's Conference highlights new environmental agenda Environmental issues were high on the agenda at the 30th Annual Premiers' Conference in Quebec City last week. The premiers agreed to develop cooperative approaches to ensure effective environmental protection while pursuing the goal of sustainable development. As part of ongoing efforts to improve air quality, the premiers, led by Ontario's Premier Peterson, urged Ottawa to adopt North Ameri- ca's toughest standards for auto emissions. They have asked the feder- al govemment to cut polluting car exhaust emissions by introducing the same standards as California - the toughest in North America. Premier Peterson said the premiers had discussed a national "swat team" which would respond to national emergencies such as the fire that destroyed a PCB storage facility in Si -Basile -le -Grand, Quebec last summer. "We'd like to develop a protocol among the provinces so that if there is an emergency we can use our best national resources as we do in fighting fires now," Premier Peterson said. In the past four years, the Ontario Govemment has taken the lead in enacting legislation and committing resources dedicated to envi- ronmental restoration and protection. Ontario's environmental initia- tives have been one of the cornerstones of the effort to promote bet- ter health throughout the province. * to reduce summer smog, Ontario lowered the levels of volatile organic compounds (VOC's) allowed in summer -grade gasoline, ef- fective July 1, 1989 * the manufacture, sale or use of ozone-depleting aerosol sprays and packaging was banned in Ontario as of July 1, 1989 (except those used for prescription drugs) * Ontario will recycle 25 percent of its household and commercial- indusjrial waste by 1992 and 50 percent by the year 2000. These tar- gets will be met through the following initiatives: - expanding Blue Box recycling - composting organic wastes - reducing waste in the private sectors by requiring key sectors to develop recycling programs with provincial help - supporting markets for recycled products through purchasing poli- cies and restricting non -recyclable goods in government * several resources and heavy manufacturing industries are now re- quired to monitor the wastewater they discharge to lakes and rivers for hundreds of contaminants * polluters in Ontario now face laws and regulations which allow judges to impose fines of up to $500,000 and jail sentences of up to one year. Last year the Environment Ministry laid 1,568 charges against environmcmal offenders, up from 454 charges in the year ending March 31, 1985. The Ontario Government will continue to seek solutions to envi- ronmental imbalances and to take the lead in curbingactivities that interfere with the public's right to enjoy clean air, water and food. It will also promote awareness among all sectors of the economy that the environment is the first priority for the general public. -11 WHO S? CARRIERAND 'BAILEYS of `NEN9ALL Ltd.
