-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- Ed: NEW SUST-MAR FEATURE! On a trial basis, I'm apending enviro news briefs to the end of sust-mar messages. Another reason to read to the end! -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- Please Post... Anne Marie Foote Executive Assistant Alexa McDonough, MP for Halifax 319A-7071 Bayers Road Halifax, NS B3L 2C2 Tel: 902-426-8691 Fax: 902-426-8693 EMail: alexa-mp@istar.ca CEP Local 232 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE DECEMBER 3, 2001 MCDONOUGH CHALLENGES PRIME MINISTER TO COME CLEAN AND DELIVER HARBOUR CLEANUP RESOURCES IN FEDERAL BUDGET HALIFAX- Halifax MP Alexa McDonough today reiterated her demand that the December 10th federal budget allocate the infrastructure funds required for meaningful federal participation in the harbour cleanup. "In one week, Prime Minister Chrétien must come clean with Nova Scotians and deliver the long-promised resources to fund up to one-third of the harbour cleanup costs. Liberal Cabinet members must set aside their internal leadership squabbles and begin addressing the legitimate concerns of Nova Scotians. They should not need a lesson on the political and economic importance of Halifax harbour, given that federal commitment to fund one-third of the costs was made almost two decades ago " said Ms. McDonough. The Halifax MP again stressed the importance of keeping sewage treatment publicly operated. Ms. McDonough is deeply concerned about the dangers of allowing private companies with mixed track records to operate metro's sewage treatment plants. Following a meeting with HRM Mayor Peter Kelly, the Halifax MP once again expressed her confidence in Halifax's water management team. "Halifax has demonstrated the professional capability to operate these treatment facilities and a solid track record of water management. This is a historical opportunity and I am confident that Halifax's water management team will rise to the challenge," said Ms. McDonough. "In addition, a publicly operated sewage treatment plan would strengthen HRM's case for demanding federal investment in this historical project," said Ms. McDonough. - 30 - For more information: Anthony Salloum at 613-995-4492 or cell at 613-794-1070 -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- Ed: the following CBC news clippings are NOT part of the preceding message.
