| Anthony Giles | Yes | I'm not very educated on the matter, but isn't the federal government spending $30 million on it? Also, I understand that the provincial and municipal governments are chipping in too. So really I don't know if that is "enough". I'm surprised that the companies that polluted the area are not responsible for cleaning it up. |
| Dave Braden | No | The government is not committed enough. |
| Nancy MacBain | Yes | The Randle Reef cleanup is a massive undertaking that requires the cooperation and collaboration of all levels of government. Hamilton area NDP MPs have successfully petitioned the federal government to commit $40 million towards the Randle Reef cleanup. Continual pressure will be necessary to make sure that the federal government - and all other levels of government - make good on this commitment going forward. |
| Peter Ormond | No | No, I believe the Federal government is using stalling tactics to avoid participating in the clean up. When an election presents itself, the funding is suddenly on the table again.
At every election, we hear that the Randall Reef toxic hot spot will be addressed this time around. It's an issue that's important to every Hamiltonian who drinks tap water. Imagine if Randall Reef received the same attention as the Pan-Am Games stadium did this past year? The Greens will refocus energy on important issues that affect you. This includes the underlying reasons for a Stadium Debate, and the quiet approval of a massive airport expansion at Hamilton's Airport. With the Green Party, projects such as these that are paid for by the public, yet benefit already wealthy private interests, will be scrutinized thoroughly. We need a future with more Green, and less Greed. |
