weekender november 61993 p5 editors mail look at long term effects of sale rouge valley chair questions mpps view on airport lands dear editor regarding markham mpp don cousens assertion that i falsely represented his com ments in the legislature regarding the airport lands all of the comments and quotes were accurate derived from witnessing the inter changes in the legislature with careful reference to hansard the official record of what was said when and by whom however i agree with mr cousens in his assertion that there is a short term finan cial advantage in the sale of the airport lands im sure most people would also agree there is a short term financial advantage in clear cutting clayoquot sound and that the federal govern ment could make a lot more money selling off say banff national park to japanese investors these other examples raise the question of the long term cost of shortsighted decisions and what we might lose by disposing at the bargain base ment prices of a nationally significant asset like the fed erally owned portion of the green door mr cousens suggested that if people wanted it protected then they could buy it but we the people of canada already own it the burning question that remains is whether this new federal government unlike the previous one feels that here are more important issues here than making a quick buck issues like protection of our natural and cultural heritage the sustaining of our farm economy the protection of our communities and cooperation not conflict between our vari ous governments as crombie said it in his watershed report p 154 the commission agrees that the legacy of federal and provincial lands at pickering offers a unique opportunity for bot levels of government to lead by example selling off the lands to the highest bidder which would continue the pattern of adja cent suburban sprawl would squander an opportunity to provide a better model for future use of nearurban open r lawyer peter j lewarne

important for the new government to imme diately call a halt to the pro cess to give the residents respite from the nightmare of impending eviction they are now living in and commit to working
