“That's what we're up

by a “nuclear-industrial com-

The two MLAs agreed
with a statement by Jim

nay Nuclear Study Group, that
the NDP should find someone
who “has some kind of commit-
ment to renewable energy and
conservation and isn’t particu-
larly interested in nuclear
energy" toserve as chairman of

Asked how local municipal
and regional governments
could contribute to the fight
against uranium exploration
and mining in B.C., Skelly said
they could pass resolutions
opposing it and join residents in
legal disputes with mining com-
panies over land access and
mineral rights to protect con-
stituents.

After the meeting the
NDP environment critic said he
would contact Chabot and ex-
press his concern about the
exploration in Genelle. He said

Judge R. 0, D'Andrea
assigned Genelle residents
McGregor, 46, Eric Taylor, 82
and Brent Lee, 98, appearing in
court Tuesday on charges of
intimidation under Section 382
of the Criminal Code, the early
trial date after defence counsel
Leo McGrady expressed dis-

iste with the

MLA Bob Skelly. “Second,
considerations should be given
to a campaign to impose an
outright ban on uranium ex-

nothing but “a socialist front,”
McKenzie said the statement
was “the same kind of careless
remark as was made earlier
when it was suggested there
were going to be busloads of
outside agitators coming in and
leading us about.”

McKenzie said he would be
in learning from the

pro-
tection of recreational area and
of the effects of

McGrady said the trial was
the first time any of the accused
had been involved in a court
case, and the defendants were
eager to proceed.

“Fourth, legislation should
be enacted which would require
the affected regional districts
or municipal governments to
initiate such public hearings
and to recommend the regula-

minister when such Genelle
supporters as Kootenay West
MP Bob Brisco, a Progressive
Conservative, and Dr. Robert
Wollard, chairman of the B.C.
Medical A had be-

fted that the Genelle residents
would. not be endangered by
the tests.

“Our prime objective ts,

health and safety,” he said.
“There will be a concerted
effort by my ministry and the
health ministry to ensure that
the exploration will not have a
harmful effect.”

The mines ministry ‘is also
“examining procedures,” based
on previous studies in Saskat-
chewan, Ontario and Manitoba,
for implementing a set of
regulations for uranium mining
in B.C., he said. He said the

residents who refused to obey a
direct RCMP order to stand
aside to allow Manny Con-
sultants, conducting: tests on
behalf of the China Creek Ura-
nium Consortium, to use an
access road to the planned
drilling site. Of the 60, about
half had formed a human barri-
cade earlier in the day.

Kenzie told Rossland-Trail
MLA Chris D'Arcy and Alberni

con on reports that Mines
Minister Jim Chabot had de-

levels of government.

“If we reach the point
where we can obtain no relief
from these levels, the next step
is to apply to the minister in
charge,” he said.

Contacted Tuesday, Cha-
bot told the Castlegar News his
remarks had been directed at
the Sunday meeting rather
than Genelle residents’ opposi-
tion to the drilling.

Asked why he had rejected
the ad hoc committee's call for a
five-year moratorium on ura-
nium mining, he said he
“couldn’t understand what use-
ful purpose it would have.”

Chabot pointed out that
the federal Atomic Energy
Control Board had issued the
exploration permit to the con-
sortium, and said he was satis-

“well within" a year, following a
series of public hearings
throughout the province.

NDP Plan
Private Bill
On Uranium

Provincial New Democrats
are preparing a private mem-
ber’s bill opposing uranium
mining and nuclear energy
development in B.C,, Alberni
MLA Bob Skelly said here
Sunday.

In an interview Skelly,
NDP environment critic in the
legislature, said Prince Rupert
MLA Graham Lea will draft the
bill with the aid of the party

* caucus after consulting mining

and medical experts and en-
vironmental groups in B.C.

“We're going through now
a process of drafting legislation
that’s far more widespread and
involves far more public input
than at any time in the past,”
said Skelly.
