Several counicillors questioned whether the government's current air quality standards are sufficient, with Day commenting that he helieves stronger health and safety regulations are soon coming from the federal and provincial levels. "Why nul wait to sce if stronger reg- ulations are coming?" he asked, adding he feels the Town is "abdicating" ils responsibility lu Iook out for its people to the Region.

Breen replied that bis company is using "state-of-the-art technology" to ensure ail that can be done is done to reduce emissions. Responding to an inquiry by Ward 1 councillor Brian Penman, Gorber explained the stacks have to be as high as tbey are tc, ensure proper dispersion and dilution of the emissions. Gorber said the amount of particu- laie released when natural gas is burned is "very small." For that reason, Ward 3 councillor Jan Mowbray said she supports the motion to withdraw the request and said Milton wouldn't gain anytbing by continuing on with ius request. Voting in favour of the recommen- dation to withdraw the hump-up request were Mowhray, Mayor Gord Krantz, Wards 1 and 3 councillor Barry Lee and Ward 3 councillor Cindy Lunau. Opposed t0 it were Wards 2 and 4 councillor Colin Best, Ward 2 coun- cillor Mike l3ougbton, Penman, Day Ward 2 councillor Greg Nelson and Scherer. After council turned down the rec- ommendation, Day attempted to put forward his own motion to hire an environmental consultant 10 assist tIhe Town in àssessing applications of this sort, but it was ruled oui of order by Krantz., "Council had already voted to not spend any money to hire our own con- sultant for TransCanada," Town clerk Troy McHarg told the Champion after the meeting. "Thats why the motion wasn't put forward." Penman then put forward a motion t0 invite TCF back to address concerns raised during the meeting, and it was carried.
