---- Se aid NE SoS Vener LS & A Sa SHON enh SRR ie i i TAY NY (FAY FAN i Tah RA Claims Tories ignore the people of Ontario It's a day to day constant battle," says NDP MPP Brian Charlton. The Hamil- ton Mountain MPP said that the opposition is forced to raise with the government issues such as the dump at Stouffville, the overriding of the Environmental Assess- ment Act on the Highway 404 extension, the unsuitability of the South Cayuga site. Speaking to a meeting of the Durham York NDP Asso- ciation in the community of Riverdrive Park on Wed. Nov. 18, Mr. Charlton said that the NDP has to ask why the Minister of Trans- portation and Communica- tion, Mrs. Snow doesn't obey the law? Why, in the past year, there have been more exemptions under the Envir- onmental Assessment Act than there have been hearings? "Wetry to get the informa- tion about what their inten- tions are but they won't tell us. The Tories don't think it is necessary for the people of this province to know. Day after day there is a repeated litany of evasion." He gave the example of the Conservative claim that they had no authority to intervene in the issue of removing radioactive soil in Scarbor- ough to Bancroft. But what M. Norton said was not true; they do have authority under at least four provincial acts. While the major role of the opposition is to work to improve our society they are also finding themselves playing the role of enforcer, making the government enforce the law on behalf of the people that the law is supposed to protect. Mr. Charlton said that we must' tell our friends and neigh- bours about a government that says during an election campaign that we must enforce the law to hospital workers and yet turns around when one of its ministers bypasses its own laws, and itself pass, an Order-in-Council to make his action allowable. The meeting ended with an observation from Margaret Wilbur, NDP candidate in the last provincial election. She noted that Mr. Charlton as NDP critic for the Envir- onment, has been doing an effective job upholding the environmental laws of this province. Where, she asked, was the voice of Durham York's MPP when these matters came up in the legislature? on New 1981 Pontiacs, Buicks & Light Duty GMC Trucks. (Retail Sales Only.
