stoufiville suntribune thursday oct 27 23 emotion overcame facts in sewer debate klees says from page 1 toronto last week some toronto politicians are concerned the project will cause permanent damage to the water sys tem feeding torontos creeks and streams many didnt want to hear his message said oak ridges tory mpp frank klees who attend ed the meeting what bill fisch and others were attempting was to do was put some factual information for ward so whatever deci sion city council makes will be based on facts and in context mr klees said im not sure that was heard by the committee whenever you deal with environmental matters therev a great deal of emotion arid when you deal with only some of the information there are conclusions made that are not necessarily reality the regions own problems some pri vate wells drying up in early stages of the 16th avenue project are partly to blame for the stalemate with toronto council mr klees said frankly the regions initial response wasnt as timely as it should have been the region has admitted that and it cre ated some polarization he said now there is a full focus on the part of the region to mitigate any environmental damage in a timely manner im hopeful there will be a positive outcome because you cant simply table this project its very important for york region for the immediate future as well as for the long term the conditions and the monitoring process imposed by the province amount to the most sig nificant environmental scrutiny in infrastructure history region works commissioner bruce macgregor said this added level of scrutiny has never been seen before and if they find were doing anything wrong they have the ability to charge us that hasnt happened mr macgregor said adding toronto could take les sons from the region in sewer building if you could rebuild toronto with the infra structure were building in york region their beaches would be open yearround he said partt canservateur du canada conservative

klees is prepared to go to court to halt the implementation of a controversial bill to open up adoption records in ontario bill 183 the adoption disclo sure legislation was debated in the legislature tuesday night and is expected to be voted into law within days or weeks the government is being absolutely stubborn on this issue there is no indication of any accommodation on the veto we are seeking mr klees said yesterday if it is passed in its present form i can guarantee there will be a charter challenge and we will depend on the courts to rule against it the bill gives adoptees and their birth parents access to adoption files containing names medical records and other personal information because it is retroactive guarantees of confidentiality given decades ago would no longer apply instead anyone seeking anonymity would have to prove to a tribunal that revealing their past would cause significant harm the tories agree with ontario privacy commissioner jane cavoukian who says the bill fails to protect privacy rights mr klees said it should contain a retroactive disclosure veto which would give birth parents and adoptees the right to refuse release of information think snow jps
