Huron -Bruce MPP
During the Ministry of"
Natural Resources
Estimates held this week,
I had the opportunity to
express the .concern felt
by fishermen in regard to
the fish -stocking
program in Lake Huron
and Georgian Bay.. •
The efforts of the
Ministry over the "past
twenty years to introduce
splake have been a
failure, and the tourist
industry has suffbred
serious harm from poor
angling.
I told the committee
that the constituents of
Huron -Bruce are up in
arms over the failure of
this program and the
Ministry's decision to
continue with the ex-
periment. "The natives
are restless. The Grey -
Bruce area has been
deserted by anglers. You
might just as well be out
there fishing for
passenger pigeons - you
just can't find these fish.
You spent twenty years
and a lot of money to find
a fish which Gould survive
the lamprey...but they
seem to disappear out of
. the bottom of the lake."
The,. Legislature's
Select_ committee an
Hydro Affairs has con-
cluded 'that Ontario's
nuclear reactors .are
"acceptably safe".
However, the final report
of the all -party fourteen -
member committee adds
"there are real risks in
the peaceful use of
nuclear power an-
d...absolute safety can
never be totally
assured." The report
makes several recom-
mendations to improve
nuclear safety, while
pointing out weaknesses
in the design., operation

SEAFORTH - Longtime
Seaforth Reeve John
Flannery got his, knuckles
rapped, by council :,over
comments he made on
the Seaforth Fire Area
Board (FAB) dispute in a
recent London Free

Council adopted its

or council.
Council also sent a
letter for the Fire Mar-
shall's office, saying the
reeve's views as ex-
pressed in the Free Press
story weren't shared by
council. They story said
that all five
municipalities were
unhappy with the Fire
Marshall's input into the
dispute.
Reeve Flannery ex-
plained that he was
concerned about the
nurnbe'r of closed
meetings that had been
held over the FAB
dispute.
"The public got no
information on FAB
meetings," he explained.

learned that it is im-
possible to assure that
there is absolute safety in
the operation of Ontario's
reactors...There is a
'broad range of possible
accidents and subsequent
con'eq'uence.s with
varying likelihoods of
occurrence.
"Even • so, given the
clear commitment of
Ontario Hydro to safety,
the past safety, record of
the existing reactors and
the design mechanisms to
limit the consequences of
possible accidents, the

risk of a serious accident
occurring in any single
reactor is extremely
small and that the
reactors were, therefore,
acceptably safe."
Catastrophic accidents

potentially very
dangerous situation in
Mississauga following the
