Dunlop to re-introduce bill to kill Site 41 this week

Midland Free Press March 24
Simcoe North MPP Garfield Dunlop was set to re-introduce this week his private member’s bill to revoke the dump Site 41 certificate of approval.
The bill -introduced last year -made it to second reading, but died on the order paper when the McGuinty government prorogued the Legislature.
Simcoe County has mothballed the dump, but has kept the certificate of approval. Opponents fear the county could sell the property to a private operator who could use the certificate to open a dump.
“If county council is sincere about not having a landfill there why would you hang on to the certificate of approval?” he asks.
“I’ve said often said Site 41 is a mistake,” Dunlop added. “The best thing would be for the Bill to get support and be passed so we can move on.”
