Cayuga Industrial
Waste Site
Thegovernment's
refusal Jo hold a full
envirOntientel hearing
on the. south Cayuga
liquid waste project
continues to be con-
troversial. The NDP has
indicated that it might
vote against the
Government on this
issue. Since the Liberal
Party has already.
promised to withhold
approval of . Environment
Ministry estimates
because of the proposed
site, there is a possibility
of Government defeat if
the NDP also withholds
approval.
his 1lappens, since'
the Opposition would, in
fact, be denying funds to
the r_Government this
would be considerd a
matter of confidence. It
has been suggested by the
opposition that the
Government had scored a
propaganda coup through
the appointment of
Donald Chant, co-founder

director of the Joint
Study Centre of
Toxicology at the
University of Toronto, as
chairman of the, cor-
poration to be set up to
develop and manage the
$60 million site near the
Grand River.
Dr. Chant has indicated
that he would have liked
to see an environmental
assessment hearing on
the site "but that is water
under the bridge now ; the
decision has been made.
Now we'll just have to
make sure we get the best
facility possible."

An Ontario en-
vironmental tribunal
which vetoed a�`�giant
toxic waste plant in Ajax

rewriting and reversal
revealed recently has
prompted sharp
criticism, threat of legal
action and demands for a
governmental ex-
planation from citizens,
lawyers and opposition
MPPs.
One of the three en-
vironmental com-
missioners who scuttled
the 8.8 million gallon
Ajax scheme but were
overruledby the full
Ontario Environmental
Assessment Board has
resigned without ex-
planation.

report to thegislature
that "a serious conflict of
interest problem exists
with the .board of
Ophthalmic Dispensers,
as with other a4eneies..."
The report states Haat.
"because agencies have
varying `arm's length'
relationships with
Ontario Government
ministries, conflict of
interest rules that may be
appropriate for civil
servants may not be
appropriate for 'in-
dependent' agencies".

porters of the Con-

While the appointments
are made public once the
decision has been made
the selection process is
confidential and largely
bidden from public view.

Elgie, asked the Chair-
man of the Committee to
declare both the NDP
motion on severance pay
and a Liberal motion on
extending the notice
period for laid -off
workers out of order.
However, no such ruling.
