So here we are a year later................still
waiting..............waiting. Waiting for our government to do the
right thing.
We now have JAG backing us! They have committed to us. They are
saying come on lets do the right thing. The government partners were at
the table when the motions were passed to do something for the residents
of Frederick Street. . What is the government doing?
The residents of Frederick Street have been excluded from the rules!!
The rules you say? Yes, the CCME guidelines (rules), the Environmental
laws, and the right to life. CCME were put in place to protect humans
from toxic chemicals. If you remember all our tests came back well over
the guidelines. And the Environmental laws:
Has the government forgotten this?
The precautionary principle will be used in decision making so that
where there are threats of serious or irreversible damage, the lack of
full scientific certainty shall not be used as a reason for postponing
measures to prevent environmental degradation.
What is an adverse effect ?
It means an effect that impairs or damages the environment, including an
adverse effect respecting the health of humans or the reasonable
enjoyment of life or property.
We have all been hurt physiologically, economically, socially, and
permanently by the actions of the Federal and Provincial Government.
These are the direct actions of the Federal and Provincial Government.
Direct actions of ignorance.
We have been patient for one year! It's time now for the government to
do the right thing. It's time!!
Sincerely, Juanita McKenzie
