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 all exploration should be stop- ped and B.C. should be declared

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-

MLA Bob Skelly. “Second, considerations should be given to a campaign to impose an outright ban on uranium ex- ploration for a period of five years,

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

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.
