Hereplied, il1 have just as mnuch concern for those peopîevvho have ta be relocated as ansi- one el se, but at the same time I donit think that you can take a posi tion against the airport if you know the facts in terms of the greater boon, and that is not being di sres pe c tf ultot the people who are there. I 'f the government did not make p rov is i on i n a norderly fashion for tr anspor tation, schooling and health then wewvoul1d have ta cons ider the gov- ernment irresponsible."
