' I want to clarify my' position on these pu»sibUtieS. however. / do not think it is appropriate for your provincial ,ep,e*utudva to try to impoao' these . prWo;tts ��u, .|ncu| 'municipalities. I do not like to interfere- with -- local priorit\o9 or programs. Once interest is o»pros,sed. /owevor, l am only Loo pleased to 'praideinformation or`uuuixtuoce. ° The province itself has helped to develop rpc,eutiuuu\ facilities along txo &8u\tluod._uud the Lalee Huron shore, Currently, we are completing land purchases for the Hullett wildlife project on the' South Maitland. The Department of Lands and Forests hopes to start development work there in 1072'78. . . This project, l 'am convinced, 'wilt attract thousandu of naturalists and outdoorsmen from Canada and the U.S. when the Wumy~[un| and wildlife programs are establishe&. - I recall working 'on the pdintFu,m» Provincial Park north ofmy riding and on the Pinery Provincial Park to the south. Improvements are being made to these parks on a .yeur4b*4eur ,basis. In addition, the province is now paying grants in lieu of taxes to the host municipalities trib tino towards the 'cost of local - services. a oou Y' o*m|oeo. ~a^� Pollution 000:sd, too. is largely a question of local initiative. Again, the Maitland authority and its membo,•munio\pu\itiiem can play a significant rOle in conservingthe riverquality. A case in point is the 1965 report Oh the Maitland in which the authority was requested to work with the O.VY.B`O. in encouraging pollution control and clean-up. ^ - . l note with interest the concerned activities of • the "Save The Maitland" Association, which canreduction of pollution sources. While lmo obliged to, say that some of the problems associated with the Listowel lagoon have been and continue to be exaggerated, l believe the "Save The Maitland" and the 0.F.A. have been helpful rn developing- interim solutions. I am hop-elul that the spray irrigation program and the new• aeration chamber will improve eubutunboJ|y the quality of treated water flowing from the lagoon. . . Let me turn briefly to other pri9rities which J see for Huron in the next few years. Most immediute, of oob,ee, is the reactivation ' of CLF.kLOUnton, which has been closed by the federal government. l u\umdy,uuw* indicated my willingness to work closely with federal and. onunicipa| authorities to 1evelop appropriate uses for the base. Future growth in Huron will also. be affected by the -regional development program for MODA. The first report has been' reviewed by Huron nwnidmdiUao l(lope lCan boxe|p��|in enaud_t that Huron's Views are incorporated in the final ',epO«t which will establish guideline for nt iveu ut in the future. • _—...—' department's . �highway development. in the L4e. . area and our new regional air'services program can be significant for Huron. While we hove good tranSportation facilities want to make .00,tain that .Huron • receives ,:appropriate consideration for the future. ' ' lth\nb. too, that the province can be' -helpful to Huron County Council in the development ' and .refinement. o/ the of/cm/ plan which has been prepared for the c'ounty. I believe Queen's . Park should and niU assist with the m`mron, • study which the 'planning committee has recommended. I repeat,however, that the ' community potential reSts with local initiative. As the county, ^~^'^^r~'~^~ and local'groups • . pursue these,possibilities, they can be assured . ' that thLprovince stands 'ready to be a willing and contributing partner. l'boUeve l have been helpful. in making this pu,nemhi» work over the past decade, or so. l hope, l K aye. the privilege to continue this contribution in�years ahead., GODERIcti Have vu8��� ��0� .���� ��� ' What is . .- � rt like Some blind people can see r a little.

Tho Goderich Harbour does have a great economic potential. The Goderich Town Council has indicated its desire to amplify its commercial use. I would- press for an intensiVe economic study to be undertilken by the Ontario DevelOpment Corporation arid. the Midwestern Ontario Regional Develophient Council. In published repor s in the last three years, both the implied that d6is potential exists. Action must result; the efforts or the Town by itself have been fruitless. 4.
