Meanwhile, spokesmen at most Alberta pulp mills say they are already meeting tougher provincial standards, %o the new federal guidelines won’t affect them much. Federal Environment Minister Lucien Bouchard announced draft amendments _to the Canadian En- vironmental Protection Act which he said will ‘virtually eliminate’ the release of cancer-causing chemicals into water systems. “*We would have preferred him to say, instead of virtually eliminate, totally eliminate furans and dioxins,’’ said Edmonton Friends of the North spokesman Randy Lawrence. “*As far as we're concerned, dioxins and furnas have no safe lower limit,”’ said Lawrence. The changes to the act would force pulp and paper mills to modify the bleaching process, which creates toxins, and would restrict the sale and use of materials made by processes that give off cancer-causing furans ~and dioxi: TOUGHER LIMITS Bouchard also wants to amend the Fisheries Act to impose tougher limits on the amount and types of effluents that _ mills can pump into water systems. Alberta Environment Minister Ralph Klein said Tuesday that _he doesn’t expegt the federal laws to cause adjustments in Alberta. “*I think it’s great (Bouchard) xants to clean up the pulp mills, because maybe now others will come up to Alberta standards,’’ he said. Most industry spokesmen agreed that Alberta’s regulations are tougher than Ottawa’s latest effort and said they can easily meet the new rules. “We're confident our equipment will be capable of meeting the stan- dards,”’ said Tom Hamaoka, vice- president of Daishowa Canada Ltd.

Starting today in Nanaimo, En- vironment Department officials will hold meetings in 39 cities to explain what they see as the main issues. From Dawson, Yukon, to St. John’s, Nfld., people will be able to ask questions. They won’t get a chance to say what they think — yet. That comes in @ second round of workshops, to be held in provincial and territorial capitals. The schedule for those meetings isn’t ready. The overall goal, as defined by En- vironment Minster Lucien Bouchard, is “*to make Canada, by the year 2000, the world’s most environmen- tally friendly country.”” ‘Consultation will take months, af- ter which Environment Department officials will analyse their findings and prepare a plan for cabinet. “‘We have the task of changing long-held attitudes and Practices that threaten the destruction of the planet,’’ says Bouchard. ‘‘I believe we can make those changes; I believe we must make them. We do not have any other choice." The question is whether the rest of Canada — including industrial groups — agrees with him. There have been persistent reports that some members of federal cabinet aren’t buying his plea for urgent action. Instead of a plan for action he had Promised for this spring, Bouchard released a discussion paper last mon- th. It asks the questions that the con- sultations are supposed to answer. Are people ready for a green tax to pay for new environmental programs? Do they want tougher pollution regulations? Should Canada reduce emissions of gases thought to cause a warmer atmosphere, or wait for more research? Are people willing to change habits — for example, the way they use cars and the way they clean drains, to reduce pollution? wn* BUICK + CADILLAC « GMC TRUCKS « PONTIAC « $2137° With Sales Tax as Your Down Payment.
