After évents such as the Hagersville tire tire and Iast falI's apartment tire here in Whitby, the need-has béen demonstrated ta strengthen thé tire marshal's pawers.so that, such envîranméntai and social tragédies can be prevented. Locally, there is a tire dump and another site that should be deait with. People in Whitby have been concerned with thèse threats to aur community. However, your governiments have flot yet had the legai ability to act on your béhaif, as we should have. We do not need ta have another local tragedy. Thé changes in'Iaw would permit thé tire maîshal and assistants ta issue an order for corrective action where thé environmental conséquences of a tire might be seriaus. This would bé thé case with thé potential of a tire tire. 'On occasions whén thé owner, ar persan résponsiblé, is unwilling or unablé'to take action, the tire marshal and his assistants can take action. This would only happen in rare circumrstancés and would requiré thé authorization att he Firé Code commission. Athough rare, communities such as ours neéd ta know that no one can hold their safety toransom. No one can refuse ta Iook ater the dangers that théir properties créaté. T hé nééd for thesé améndments was painted out Iast taîl and winter on séveral occasions by local tire officiais.

"We. have the incredible irony of the féderai government dump- ing its déficit on us with théir cutting of transfer payments. «Yet these are the samé people who say 'you have a defîiit, .do something about it'. While hie agrees it «would have been nice te be elected in good times.» White says the govern- ment is doin the best it can in view of today's économy. "There are limitations on what we can do, it's the reality of the timés. » White admits the legislative process may moire too slowly for some but he feels the govern- ment is doing what it can to mike the*exercise more acces- sible te Ontarians.
