even ahead of the hospital project itself this as hostages area mpp he says has angered many people even to the point of withholding campaign pledges that in total amount to 23 million dol lars at the hospitals annual meeting june 20 nine new trustees were elected all said to have prolife lean ings left in the wake were sixjongtime incumbents including lachlan catta- nach and doug meharg both charter members of the board cousens said the com plaints hed received were from both protestants and roman catholics last week he and markham mayor carole bell met with roman catholic bishop leonard wall and requested he intercede although understanding bishop wall made no promises cousens said he agreed only to look into the matter the yorkcentre mpp is still hoping five of the nine new trustees elected june 20 will voluntarily resign allowing the board to re place them with five who served previously this would show the whole community that the roman catholic church is truly a credible force and more interested in the hos pital than in a single issue he said if five of the new trustees did tender their resigna tions this would still leave the prolife group with rep resentation on the
