Chretien announced he will run ina byelection in Beausejour. Fernand Robichaud made way for Chretien by resigning Monday as MP for one of the safest Liberal seats in the country. No date for the byelection has been set, but Prime Minister Brian Mulroney said it will be soon. Beausejour, formerly West- Morland-Kent, hasn't elected a Con- servative in decades. It is north of Moncton along the east coast Chretien said he felt it wisest now to seek a seat in New Brunswick. But he promised to run in his former Quebec riding of Saint-Maurice — which he held from 1963 to 1986 but which now is held by a Tory — in the next general election. “Our strength is in the Maritimes,”” Chretien told a massive media scrum.

But some Liberal MPs admitted Chretien might have trouble winning a seat in his home province. “The post-Meech situation in Quebec is such that Mr. Chretien’s Position is different than the collec- tive view in Quebec right now,” said Moncton MP George Rideout, a Con- servative whose riding borders on Beausejour. “I think that there would be some difficulties there. Obviously that’s the reason he chose to look in New Brun- swick.’" In addition to defending his choice of riding, Chretien insisted the timing of the decision was his own.

But there were no promises three in four Quebecers are dissatisfied with him. Mulroney had been needling him for weeks over his lack of a place in the Commons, taunting Chretien to get elected and stop ‘“‘hiding from Canadians."" “It's not Mr. Mulroney or anything like that,’’ Chretien said, adding that he could have sat out until early 1991 but was urged by his caucus to get in- to the House. ‘I was not very com- fortable to sit on the sidelines.’’ bypletey ecry PRS. epchy AUTOMOTIVE DIRECTORY Cos!

Many of the nearly 200 people who made sub- missions to the panel during six days of hearings in the West Kootenay suggested improvements to the Celgar review, which is being conducted under the newly created provincial Major Project Review Process and the Tederal Environmental Assessment Review Process. Ceigar is the first company to be put through the Provincial process which was established earlier this year Top priority for most people who commented on the review was the issue of intervenor funding. Supporters of intervenor funding say providing money to groups interested in the company’s plans to allow for independent study of the expansion proposal is essential to a fair and unbiased review. The absence of and the public have inadequate information on the tervenor funding means the panel company’s plans, said Sue Hammond, a spokesman for tervenor fundin; the expansion is the five-volume assessment report Ceigar commissioned. “*You can’t expect the proponent of any project to provide a unbiased report,’’ Hammond told the panel during a public hearing in Nelson.

He said he believes government will eventually have such guidelines, which he compared to building The would lay out technology of the industry would change and new guidelines would be needed. Ross said the way the current process is set up works well because it allows an independent panel with indepen- dent consultants to give the project a ‘second look.”” impact that the would have to meet, he said. If the proponent met the guidelines, then the company would receive permission to build, Donaldson suggested. But Ron Ross, also a member of CCCM, said if that were the case a separate set of guidelines would have to be written for each industry, such as mining or pulp and Paper, and as soon as guidelines were set up of a project If the proponent knows an independent body will be reviewing its proposal, the company will make sure it does “ S “the best job possible reporting the expected impacts of the Project, Ross said. But he criticized the amount of time Celgar’s review is taking. The company should be told when a decision will be made, he said, suggesting six months would be am- ple time for a review ‘‘from start to finish."” reason an ind Ross questioned the call for intervenor funding.
