DELEGATIONS
1.
Mr. Lorne Almack stated that Counci 1 shoul d not
endorse any recommendati on of the Greater Toronto Area
Ai rport Study COIII!1ittee be:ause the mandate and goa 1 s
of thi~. Col1J/1ittee are not clear. He questioned the
G.T.A.'s urgency in forcing this issue particularly in
view of the fact that the Federal Government is
carrying out an envi ronmenta 1 assessment of Lester B.
Pearson Internati ana 1 Ai rport and the responsi bil ity
for the G.T.A. has been transferred to the Ministry of
the Environment.
2.
Mr. A1 Graham stated that ~he issues identified by the
Greater Toronto Area Ai rport Study COI1I:1ittee are very
comp 1i cated and the community wants to be i nvo 1 ved in
the process. Pickering has been impacted negative"ly
by other G.T.A. decisions and this Study could be
another problem. He noted that it would be very
expensi ve to upçrade Lester B. Pearson Internati ona 1
Ai rport and that the G. T.A. wants to excl ude pri vate
industry from any involvement with the airport.
